Heartbreaking Incident on the Cricket Field

A shocking incident unfolded during a local cricket match in Punjab, where a player collapsed immediately after hitting a six. The cricketer, identified as Harjeet Singh from the Ferozepur district, was seen celebrating his shot before he suddenly knelt down in the middle of the pitch. His fellow batter, unaware of the unfolding tragedy, also knelt beside him, but moments later, Singh fell to the ground.

Reports indicate that Singh suffered a heart attack and lost consciousness. Fellow players rushed to his aid, attempting to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), but their efforts were unfortunately unsuccessful. Harjeet Singh tragically passed away on the field.

Previous Incidents of On-Field Tragedies

This incident is reminiscent of another tragedy that occurred in 2025 when a 35-year-old cricketer named Imran Patel collapsed during a match at Pune's Garowar Stadium. After experiencing chest pain, he informed the umpire and attempted to leave the field for a break. Tragically, he collapsed midway and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.

Additionally, earlier this year, a B.Tech student suffered a similar fate while playing cricket, highlighting the alarming frequency of such incidents in the sport.
