"It is extremely sad to learn about the sudden tragic death of Vikrant. He was a very bright boy and would have definitely made HPCA and the entire state of Himachal proud," said Thakur, who is also the president of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association.
The HPCA expressed its grief through a tweet.
"My heartfelt condolence to the family and I wish them the strength to brave this difficult time. May Vikrant's soul rest in peace," he said.
