Veteran Indian cricketer Ravichandra Ashwin condoled the sudden demise of upcoming cricketer Karan Tiwari, who committed suicide on Monday at his Mumbai residence. Popularly referred to as ‘Junior Steyn’ due to the identical bowling action as that of South African stunner, Dale Steyn, Karan was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room. According to reports, the 27-year-old's family were suspicious after he kept his room locked for a long period of time. Police cited the same reason, that Karan was under depression because he couldn’t get through any of the eight IPL teams which is set to commence from September 19 in the UAE. Crictracker added that Karan had a fair experience of bowling to IPL teams at Mumbai Indians’ (MI) home ground, the Wankhede Stadium.
