On Thursday, 241 passengers died after the crash of Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner going from Ahmedabad to London. However, now a few days after this accident, another revelation has been revealed that a 23 -year -old cricketer was also among the people killed in this accident. Yes, Mirth Patel, who played cricket for the Leeds Modernians Cricket Club, was among the 241 passengers and crew members who lost their lives.
The Mirth Patel, who studied at the University of Hudersfield, was among the 242 people aboard the flight AI171 of Air India, who left for Gatvik Airport in London from Ahmedabad on 12 June. Originally a resident of Gujarat, Mirth Patel, had recently completed a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and was preparing to start his career in the tech industry.
According to the BBC, former lecturer Dr. George Bargianis, former Lecturer of Golidha Patel, praised him a lot and he was also quite smart because he achieved the highest grade in his course. Dr. Bargianis, the reader of Artificial Intelligence at the University School of Computing and Engineering, said, “Baldha was a person who I knew not only for his educational abilities, but also for his warmth, passion and enthusiasm. Dedar was always intellectually curious.”
Speaking further, Bargianis said, “He used to bring questions to me during classes that reflect deep understanding and commitment. He had a rare ability to see a big picture and understand how his learning could have an impact in the real world. Their departure reminds of how delicate life can be. My senses are lucky with their families, friends, friends and all those who were fantastic. We kept inspiring those who had the privilege of sharing a part of his life. “
Patel played as a foreign player for the Leeds Modernians Cricket Club during the 2024 season. The club has also mourned the news of his death.
