Jaipur: Cricketers collide while taking a catch, one succumbs to injury
The deceased has been identified as Bhanu Joshi, a resident of Chanderia village.
Joshi died in a hospital, following a grave head and liver injury.
In recent times, the sport has witnessed some morbid occurrences. In November 2014, Australian cricket Philip Hughes succumbed to his injuries after a bouncer hit him on the back of his head. Hughes' death forced several cricket bodies to review the safety standards.
Bengal club cricketer Ankit Kesari too died while taking a catch in April last year.
