This is the moment a cricketer hit a six before mysteriously collapsing and dying in India.
The batsman, identified as 42-year-old Ram Ganesh Tewar, was playing cricket in the Mira Road suburb, north of Mumbai, when he tragically died.
Footage shows him hitting a perfect six while wearing a pink vest before walking back to his wicket.
In the blink of an eye, you see his body fall to the ground. Dozens of his fellow players ran to help him, although unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
Local police said authorities were still trying to determine the exact cause of death.

Maharashtra, the region in which Mumbai is located, reported a total of 276 cases of heat stroke in March, April and May this year alone, although no deaths have been reported yet.
“As we transition into the monsoon phase, the heat continues to affect young office goers in the age group of 20 to 45 years more than ever,” Dr Divya Gopal of Mumbai’s HN Reliance Hospital told the Times of India.
Last April, 12 people in Maharashtra died of heatstroke and dozens of others were hospitalized after attending an awards ceremony.
The government-sponsored event took place in the open air under the hot sun for several hours.
Officials called the fatal incident ‘unexpected and painful’ and said they would give only 500,000 rupees (£4,733) to each of the families of the deceased in compensation.
