India’s legendary former captains, Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar, have publicly expressed solidarity with Imran Khan, emphasizing the personal bonds formed on the cricket field. Both men shared memories of playing alongside Khan during the early 1990s and stressed that his contributions to the sport merit compassionate treatment. Kapil Dev remarked that while he does not comment on Pakistan’s legal system, it is essential that any prisoner—especially one who once steered a nation’s team to world glory—receives dignified medical care. Gavaskar echoed the sentiment, urging the authorities to grant Khan access to the best available health facilities without delay.
