MUMBAI: Indian cricketer Ankit Keshri has died after colliding with a team-mate during the field in a club match in Kolkata on Friday.
Both attempted to take a catch but collided very badly. The 20-year-old, a former captain of Bengal’s under-19 state team, was only on the field as a substitute fielder.
He reportedly regained consciousness after the collision, but later suffered a cardiac arrest in hospital and died on Monday.
The Bengal cricket association’s Subir Ganguly said, “It’s so unfortunate.”
“He was such a promising cricketer and for him to pass away in such a manner is difficult to swallow.”
