Tendulkar shocked at Prabhash Joshi's death

New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI) Batting great Sachin Tendulkar on
Friday expressed his shock at noted journalist Prabhash
Joshi's death, saying it left a void which would be difficult
to fill.

Joshi, 72, complained of chest pain while watching
Thursday night's thrilling India-Australia one day match and
was rushed to a private hospital where he was declared dead.
"I'm really shocked by his demise," Tendulkar told PTI.
"He was a keen follower of the game and his death has
left a void," said the star batsman whose sublime 175 Thursday
night could not avert India's three-run defeat against
Australia.
"Right throughout, his words and opinions have always
encouraged me," Tendulkar added.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) spokesman
Rajiv Shukla also mourned Joshi's death.
Joshi, who began his career with 'Nai Duniya', was the
founder editor of leading Hindi daily 'Jansatta' in 1983.
After retiring from the newspaper in 1995, he continued as the
chief editorial advisor.
Joshi also worked with the 'Indian Express' as the
resident editor at Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and Delhi.
A prolific sportswriter, he was a regular at cricket
matches in the capital and even watched the October 31
India-Australia match at Ferozshah Kotla from the press box.
