Monday proved to be a very sad day for Indian cricket as a young and talented cricketer, Ankit Keshri, died an untimely death in Kolkata. Ankit was just 20 year old and sustained internal injuries in an unfortunate bang-on collision with a fellow cricketer during a club match between local giants East Bengal and Bhowanipore club.
The youngster was a right-handed batsman and a spin bowler. Tragically, Ankit wasn’t even in the playing eleven when the incident took place. He was fielding as the 12th man.

The actor took to social networking site Twitter to condole and mourn the death of the cricketer. ”Too young to go… extremely unfortunate & sad. Condolences & prayers for Ankit Keshri & his family. May Allah bless his soul. R.I.P.”
When the officials were contacted they 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.
