An elderly man from Bistauli village in Gorakhpur, UP, India, died of heart attack during the last overs of India’s nail-biting one-run win over Bangladesh on Wednesday night.
According to reports, Om Prakash Shukla, was watching the match on television and complained of severe chest pain after Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim smashed two consecutive boundaries off Hardik Pandya in the last over taking his team to the verge of a famous win.
India won the game by one run.
Shukla died shortly after.
He ran a grocery store in Delhi for several years before settling down in Gorakhpur. He is survived by three sons.
