    The 20-year-old, a talented right-hander, had captained the Bengal U-19 team in Cooch Behar Trophy and was in the 30-member India U-19 probables list for the 2014 Colts World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. He was also playing for Bengal A (U-23 side) in CK Nayudu national Championship.

      There was no external injury but Keshri fainted as fellow mates Anustup Majumder and Shiv Sagar Singh resuscitated him. He gained some consciousness and was rushed to nearby AMRI. From there he was admitted to Nightingale Hospital.
      It’s better to give than to receive. Especially advice

            It's sad news he was just of 20 and was very good player. And players must take more precaution while playing so that to avoid injuries.

                This is very sad to know about this kind of incident. Following this event, there is one more death of small boy, who was hit by a cricket ball while playing.
