Former India cricketer Yashpal Sharma passes away

Former Indian cricketer Yashpal Sharma, a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning squad, passed away due to cardiac arrest on Tuesday morning in New Delhi. A middle order batsman, Sharma represented India in 37 Test matches and 42 one-day internationals. He was an important member of Kapil Dev's side that won the World Cup in England in 1983. Sharma was India's second highest scorer behind Kapil Dev in the tournament, piling up 240 runs in 8 innings with two half centuries to his kitty.

He made his Test debut for India on the tour of England in 1979 and played the last of his 37 Tests in October 1983. He scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Delhi, while his highest Test score of 140 was scored in Chennai against England. He scored 1606 runs at an average of 33.45 in Test cricket.
