He takes a run-up and bowls the solid ball, which flies back at him quicker than expected.
It rebounds into his groin area and he doubles over in pain.
The victim drops to the ground at first, then stands up and dusts himself off before collapsing again seconds later.
Several of his friends go to check on the motionless boy before administering CPR and carrying him off the court to get medical help.
Doctors at a nearby private hospital pronounced Shaurya dead on arrival.
Police spokesperson, Sachin Dhamane confirmed that an investigation into the boy’s death is underway.
Officers are currently interviewing witnesses and awaiting the results of an autopsy.
