Jones also played a key role in changing the way he played in ODI cricket.

Online Desktop He played one of the best test entries of his life on Indian soil. And Dean Jones breathed his last on that Indian soil. The legendary Australian hitter died of a sudden heart attack in Mumbai on Thursday afternoon. Brett Lee tried but couldn’t save Jones. He was 59 years old at the time of his death.

Jones came to India to comment on the IPL. She was working from within the biosecurity zone in Mumbai. It is known that Jones also worked for a television show after breakfast with former Australian fast bowler Lee this morning. After that, he had a sudden heart attack in the hotel lobby. Partner Lee tried to catch his breath with the help of CPR. But it was in vain. Jones’ close friends told Australian media that he also went for a run this morning. “I am deeply saddened to announce the death of Dean Marvin Jones,” said the IPL Star Sports host. He died of a sudden heart attack ”. Jones’ death is reminiscent of Bob Ulmer’s role in the 2006 World Cup. The Pakistani coach died in a hotel room in Achambi.

Cricketer, coach, commentator – Jones has seen the face of success. Many former cricketers also spoke about Jones’ role in changing the way he played in ODI cricket. He made his test debut against the West Indies in 1984 with 46 runs. Two years later, Jones established himself by scoring a whopping 210 in an unforgettable tying event in Chennai (then Madras). Jones played that inning despite the unbearable heat of then-Chipak. He vomited on the field while hitting. He also had to go to the hospital during the test. While batting in the 1986 Test against India, Australian captain Alan Border told ailing Jones: “If you can’t, I’ll see a cricketer from Queensland go down.”

Jones was born on March 24, 1971 in Melbourne, Victoria. She scored 3,631 runs in 52 events. Eleven centuries, 14 half centuries. Average 46.55. Maximum 218. In addition, he has scored 606 races, seven centuries and 48 half centuries in 164 ODI. Jones is considered one of the best white ball cricketers of his generation. He was the first to show how to keep the score moving with quick singles. He was a key member of the 1986 World Cup winning Australian team.

Border, known as Jones’s mentor, said: “Dino was excellent in tryouts too. But everyone will remember him for the aggressive cricket he played in the ODI. Border also thanked Lee for trying to save Jones.

Jones’s death has cast a shadow of mourning over the cricket scene. Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Smith, Virat Kohli have expressed their condolences on social media. Sachin wrote: “The news of Dean Jones’s death is truly heartbreaking. A handsome man left quickly. “Kohli tweeted:” Dean Jones’s sudden departure was a huge shock. “Jones is survived by his wife and two daughters. In her condolence message, Viv Richards said:” Woke up in the morning with terrible news. You were bigger to me than the cricketer on the opposing team. You were my brother, my friend. ”

Ravi Shastri, the head coach of India who competed in that tie test and later worked as a co-commentator with Professor Dino, tweeted: “I lost a colleague and a friend. Jones passed away at a young age.”

Nobody really thinks Dean Marvin Jones will be out in the last innings of his life with so few runs.
