Harjeet was known to be physically fit and regularly active in local cricket tournaments. His untimely death has shocked not just his friends and family, but sports lovers across India, once again highlighting the growing concern around cardiac issues in seemingly healthy athletes.
This heartbreaking episode echoes a similar tragedy that occurred in 2024 at Pune’s Garware Stadium. In that case, 35-year-old cricketer Imran Patel collapsed and died after voluntarily retiring from the game due to chest discomfort. He too was considered fit and active.
As videos of Harjeet’s collapse circulate widely on social media, health experts are stressing the urgent need for cardiac screenings, even for younger athletes. Calls are growing louder for mandatory medical checks, availability of defibrillators at local grounds, and training in basic life-saving techniques.
The Firozpur cricket tragedy serves as a painful reminder: even moments of triumph can be cut short without warning.
