It has been a sad day for cricket fans all over the country as we lost another young budding cricketer to mother Nature. Ankit Keshari, Bengal’s former Under 19 captain passed away this morning after sustaining an injury playing in a club game on Friday. It pains to read that such a young talent was lost to an injury, while trying to take a catch, playing as a substitute. It is how cruel the game can be at times.
