On the whole, Wadekar's performance in the entire series was not up to the mark and after that, he took retirement from international cricket. He then played one first-class match and following that, he retired from Cricket completely. Even after retiring from Cricket, he was associated with the game, serving as the manager of the Indian Cricket team during 1990s alongside captain Mohammad Azharuddin. After Lala Amarnath and Chandu Borde, Wadekar was one among the very few players to represent India as captain, Test player, manager and the chairman of selectors. As an honour, the Indian Government presented him with the Arjuna Award as well as Padmashri Award, which is the nation's fourth highest civilian honour. Castrol Lifetime Achievement Award, Sportsperson of the Year and CK Nayudu Lifetime achievement award were the other awards received by him.





Ajit Wadekar was born under the Aries Zodiac Sign and he is a spontaneous person with high energy, ambition but simultaneously impatience and impulsive too. His Horoscope for the year ahead promises personal transformation for the cricketer and make him restructure life on several levels. Lots of importance will be given to home life. Most of the year will be free from stress and pressure for Wadekar as he is quite sure about where his life is heading. I shared Nagesh Kukunoor's horoscope.
