Bishan Singh Bedi receives 'get well soon' card from Mumbai team after discharge from hospital

MUMBAI: In a laudable gesture, the Mumbai team, which will take on Uttar Pradesh in the final of the

Vijay Hazare Trophy

at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday, sent a ‘get well soon’ card to legendary former India left-arm spinner

Bishan Singh Bedi

, who recently spent nearly three weeks in a hospital following a bypass surgery.


“Couldn’t come personally@BishanBedi sir due to covid restrictions, please accept @MumbaiCricAssoc & all the team member's heartfelt wishes. Wishing you a speedy recovery, get well soon sir.#legend,” tweeted Mumbai coach Ramesh Powar (a former India off-spinner), along with a picture of the card, which was signed by the entire Mumbai team.

The 74-year-old former India captain had undergone a bypass surgery at the capital's Sir Gangaram Hospital last month after he complained of heart problems.



Later, Bedi underwent an operation to remove blood clotting in his brain. He returned home only a couple of days back.

Bedi, a former India captain, played 67 Tests and 10 ODIs between 1967 and 1979, and took 266 and seven wickets respectively.
