Raman Lamba appeared for India as a one day player in the [[Australasia_Cup#First_edition_1986|1986 Australasia Cup]] final, when he also took an acrobatic catch to dismiss [[Abdul Qadir (cricketer)|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. His scoring pattern in 6 innings were 64, 01, 20*, 74, 17 and 102. Lamba and [[Krishnamachari Srikkanth]] were India's openers for the '''Jawaharlal Nehru Centenary Cup 1989'''. Twice they had 100 runs opening partnership, against Australia and Pakistan. Their approach was similar, as both were stroke players. Their aggressive batting approach as openers was later adopted by opening pair [[Sanath Jayasuriya]] and [[Romesh Kaluwitharana]] in 1996 world cup. |

Raman Lamba (2 January 1960 in Uttar Pradesh – 23 February 1998 in Dhaka) was an Indian cricketer who played in four Tests and 32 One Day Internationals, mainly as a batsman [1][2] died in the Post Graduate Hospital in Dhaka in Bangladesh [3] after three days of vain efforts by a team of doctors, ever since he was seriously hit on the forehead by a full blooded pull by Mehrab Hossain off left arm spinner Saifullah Khan while fielding at forward short leg, without a helmet, for Dhaka's leading club, Abahani Krira Chakra, in the final of the Premier Division cricket match versus Mohammendan Sporting Club at the Dhaka Bangabandhu Stadium. The shot was so ferocious that the ball deflected from his head and flew into stumper Khaled Mashud' s gloves. 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 slipped into coma. Despite a neurosurgeon being flown in from Delhi, all efforts went in vain and finally his ventilator was removed declaring him dead.
