Raman Lamba (January 2, 1960 in Uttar Pradesh – February 23, 1998 in Dhaka) was an Indian cricketer who played in four Tests and 32 ODIs, mainly as a batsman.[1] [2]
He died after being hit in the head while fielding without a helmet, at short leg in a Dhaka club cricket match at the Bangabandhu Stadium.[3]
Batsman Mehrab Hossain hit the ball hard, and it hit Lamba in the head and rebounded to wicket-keeper Khaled Mashud. Mohammad Aminul Islam, the former Bangladesh captain, recalled "I was the new man in and asked Raman if he was okay. He said, 'Bulli [Islam's nickname is Bulbul] main to mar gaya' [I am dead, Bulli]. [4]
Although the injury did not appear to be particularly serious, he suffered an internal haemorrhage and he soon died, despite a neurosurgeon being flown in from Delhi.
Lamba went to Bangladesh there to play club cricket in 1991 after his international career was over. Banned from Indian cricket for ten months after an altercation with Rashid Patel, he moved to Dhaka.
Lamba appeared for India as a one day player in the 1986 Australasia Cup final, when he also took an acrobatic catch to dismiss Abdul Qadir off Kapil Dev, where he played as substitute fielder. He had a great opening in One day cricket as he scored 64 in his first match and 102 in his sixth match as he won the man of the series against Australia for scoring 278 runs at an average of 55.60 per innings with a century and 2 fifties. As far as test cricket is concerned, he had a moderate start at an average of 33.67 against the Srilankans, but failed the only test against the West Indies scoring just one run in two innings which virtually ended his career as a Test player. He did make a come back to test XI against Pakistan in 1989, but injured his finger during nets and couldn't play in the match.
