Gupte dies
NEW DELHI, May 31: Former India leg-spinner Subhash Gupte died in Trinidad following prolonged ill health.
His brother Balu, also a former Test player, said Gupte had been admitted to hospital in Port-of-Spain where he died early Friday.
Regarded as one of India’s best spin bowlers, the slender Gupte bowled flighted leg-breaks and googlies to take 149 wickets in 36 Tests at an average of 29.55 in a 10-year Test career starting from 1951-52.—Reuters
