Sachin Tendulkar, on Monday, condoled the demise of young Bengal batsman Ankit Keshri, who passed away owing to an injury sustained during a Cricket Association of Bengal’s Senior one-day knock-out match on April 17.
"Saddened by the demise of Ankit Keshri. A promising career aborted by an unfortunate incident on the field. May God give strength to his family and friends to cope with this loss,” Tendulkar wrote on his Facebook page.
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 C.K. Nayudu national Championship.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan took to twitter to convey his condolences.
