This is the moment a cricketer batted a six, before mysteriously collapsing and dying in India.
The batter, identified as 42-year-old Ram Ganesh Tewar, was playing cricket in the Mira Road suburb, which lies north of Mumbai, when he tragically passed away.
Footage shows him batting a perfect six while wearing a pink vest, before walking back to his wicket.
In an instant, his body can be seen crumpling to the floor. Dozens of his fellow players were seen running over to him to help, though they were sadly unsuccessful.
Local police said authorities are still working to figure out the exact cause of death.

Maharashtra, the region that Mumbai lies in, reported a total of 276 cases of heatstroke in March, April and May this year alone, though no deaths have yet been reported.
‘While we are transitioning into the monsoon phase, heat continues to affect young office-goers in the 20-45 age grouop, now more than ever, Dr Divya Gopal from HN Reliance Hospital, in Mumbai, told the Times of India.
Last April, 12 people in Maharashtra died from heatstroke and dozens more were hospitalised after attending an awards ceremony.
The government-sponsored event took place in the open air under a hot sun over several hours.
Officials called the deadly incident ‘unexpected and painful’, and said they would be giving just 500,000 rupees (£4,733) to each of the families of the deceased as compensation.
