Actor Angad Bedi on Wednesday expressed gratitude to superstar Salman Khan for calling him after the demise of his father, legendary Indian spinner Bishan Singh Bedi.

Taking to X, Salman mourned the demise of Bishan Singh Bedi and reminded Angad that the responsibility to head the family now rested on his shoulders.

Angad has worked alongside Salman Khan in the action thriller film 'Tiger Zinda Hai'.

The legendary spinner represented India in 67 Tests and 10 ODIs, taking a combined of 273 wickets.

Renowned for his profound understanding of the game, Bedi's elegant and rhythmic bowling action, coupled with his ability to generate prodigious spin, and his discipline with the ball earned him tremendous success.

With an astounding 1560 first-class wickets to his credit, Mr Bedi also led India in 22 Tests, with three of the six wins coming on foreign soil. He also featured in India's inaugural ODI, played on July 13, 1974, in Leeds. At the time of his retirement, Bedi held the distinction of being India's highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.

Post-retirement, he briefly served as Manager and was also a national selector. His illustrious cricketing journey was aptly recognised with several accolades, including the prestigious Padma Shri in 1970 and BCCI's CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. (ANI)
