Indian Cricketer Dies on the Pitch After Domestic Match in Uttar Pradesh

A heart-wrenching tragedy struck Indian domestic cricket on Sunday when veteran fast bowler Ahmer Khan collapsed and died moments after bowling the final delivery of a match in Muradabad district, Uttar Pradesh.

According to Indian media reports, the incident took place at the Bilari Sugar Mill Ground during a fixture organized by the Uttar Pradesh Veterans Cricket Association. The match was being contested between local teams Muradabad and Sambhal.

Muradabad batted first and set a challenging total, leaving Sambhal needing 14 runs off the final four deliveries. Ahmer, tasked with bowling the decisive over, produced a dramatic finish that secured an 11-run victory for his side.

However, the joy of victory quickly turned into horror. Moments after releasing his final ball, Ahmer appeared to have trouble breathing and collapsed on the field. His teammates and a doctor present at the venue rushed to his aid and attempted to revive him through CPR before he was taken to a nearby hospital.

Doctors, however, declared him dead upon arrival.
