Before being removed, Rohit Sharma, a former captain of the Mumbai Indians, amassed a quick 26 off just 12 balls. When Rohit’s wicket fell, Tibile made fun of Jhanjge by joking, “Oh, Rohit is out, now Mumbai will lose.” But this infuriated the ardent MI fan in Jhanjge, and after that, things spiraled out of control.
Unbelievably, last month, Bandopant Tibile, a farmer from Hanmantwadi, a thousand-person town outside of Kolhapur, passed away after making jokes with his neighbor Balwant Jhanjge while watching an Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) game.
Following several days of various injuries sustained during a struggle with Jhanjge, 70, and his nephew, Tibile, 65, passed suddenly on March 30. to watch the current Indian Premier League 2024 match between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). On March 27, Tibile and Jhangje went to a friend’s house across the street, and six other cricket aficionados also joined them. This was a noteworthy occasion. It was also where they had previously seen matches. They watched on a little television set as Hyderabad posted a record 277/3 in their 20 overs.
The residents of this small community are farmers with little land and little money. The bustle of large cities is far from us. According to The Indian Express, sarpanch Sangram Bhapkar said, “It’s a simple, peaceful life.”
“Oh, Rohit is out, now Mumbai will lose!,” Tibile exclaimed to Jhanjge after the wicket.Sarpanch Bhapkar remembers, “That set off Jhanjge, and the two got into a furious fight.”
Tibile was hit with sticks as the teasing quickly descended into a melee. When Jhanjge’s nephew grabbed a stick and struck Tibile in the back of the head, some neighbors attempted to diffuse the situation. The latter was taken straight to the hospital after collapsing on his home’s door. But a few days later, everyone pronounced him dead.
“Their fight had no other direction. No history of hostility, no drama over anything else. What transpired was caused by cricket. However, sarpanch Bhapkar went on, “The incident was merely an accident.”
A argument between two elderly individuals over a cricket match resulted in a sad incident: Inspector Shinde
Since then, Jhanjge and his nephew have been charged with murder under Indian Penal Code Section 302. Following this horrific tragedy, cricket fans have expressed how important it is to view the game as a kind of pleasure rather than a matter of life and death.
“We’re not speaking about children here. This unfortunate occurrence over a cricket match was caused by a fight between two elderly persons, according to Inspector Kishor Shinde of the Karveer police station.
“To what extent is it appropriate to become fixated on something? A boundary is necessary. It prevents you from growing resentful of other people. When their team loses, people also grow depressed, almost as if someone has died. What is the best way to handle it? Does the BCCI have a duty to inform the fans? or the administration? Shinde went on.
