Ankit Keshri was in hospital for the last three days after colliding with a teammate Mondal, and falling unconscious during a Cricket Association Bengal's Senior one-day knockout match on April 17. Indian great Sachin Tendulkar also mourned his demise on social media. 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.

Keshri, who was aged 20, was representing East Bengal who were up against Bhawanipore in a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) Division 1 knockout match. He actually wasn’t part of the playing XI for his team and had come in as a replacement for Arnab Mandi on the field.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is an ardent lover of sports and also owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, was one of the first people to offer condolences for the loss.
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.”
