Former Indian Test cricketer Rusi Framroze Surti died on Sunday in a local hospital following a brief illness.
Incidentally the player, who was a brilliant fielder too, played his 26th and final Test also at the same venue - Cricket Club of India - against Bill Lawry's Australian team in November, 1969.
"The stroke affected his brain and he died today. His two sons are here," added the former Indian captain who was in the playing eleven when Surti made his Test debut against Pakistan in December, 1960 at the Brabourne Stadium here.
The Australia-based cricketer, who was on a holiday here, died at the Jaslok hospital where he had been admitted a few days ago following a 'stroke', according to his former Test and Gujarat teammate Nari Contractor.
