Indrajit played a few games for the Cricket Club of India under former India all-rounder and Mumbai captain Ajit Agarkar. “I am terribly sad to hear the news of Indrajit’s passing and to think Covid caused the death of his father to makes it all the more heartbreaking,” Agarkar told mid-day on Friday.
“Inder was a fine batsman and bowler. We both started off at K-Sport, the academy run by Kiran Ashar (the late former Mumbai wicketkeeper-batsman),” said Inderjit’s friend and fellow cricketer Abhijit Patil.
Kanulkar Jr is survived by his mother, sister, wife and his seven-year-old son.
