Promising all-rounder Aniket Sharma on Tuesday collapsed on a cricket field and died moments later owing to a possible cardiac arrest, hospital officials said. Aniket, 21, from Paikpara Club, was brought dead to RG Kar Medical Hospital. He is survived by his mother and father.

A southpaw, who could also bowl right-arm off spin, Aniket joined the club last year and according to his coach was a fine talent. "He was a good cricketer. He was a brilliant team man and a good fielder too. We are shocked to say the least," his coach said.
