    Former Ranji Trophy player Rajendra Shah died after a brief illness. He was 68.

    "He had been suffering from fever since last two days. He was given dengue treatment. However, his health condition deteriorated last night," said his son Nimit Shah, adding, "He was rushed to a private hospital (in Ahmedabad), but he died."
