Bangladeshi cricketer Legend Tamim Iqbal suffered a heart attack during a Dhaka Premier League match on March 24, 2025, and is currently in critical condition. While playing for Mohommedan Sporting Club against Shinepukur Cricket Club, he collapsed shortly after the coin toss. At 36 years old, he has already retired from international cricket earlier this year.

He received on-field treatment before being taken to Fazilatunnesa Hospital in Savar. When he first arrived, the doctors thought it could be a minor heart complication, but that has since escalated into an emergency angioplasty to unclog arteries.

Tamim is reportedly on life support as per the Chief Medical Officer of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB), Debashis Chowdhury. Although he has had some improvement in heart function, initial reports suggested he had regained consciousness and was showing signs of recovery; there is still great concern for his life. Fans have taken to social media to express their concern while pouring in prayers and well wishes.

Tamim Iqbal has not been declared dead, despite widespread fake rumors. He remains on life support after suffering a sudden massive heart attack, and now doctors are monitoring his critical condition.

Bangladesh owes part of its cricketing history to Tamim Iqbal, who has been successful at the international level, where he amassed over 15,000 international runs across all formats. He was the first Bangladeshi player to score a century in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup and made a major contribution to the team's growth in the world of cricket.

Confusions have been spread across social media that he has died, but the official sources are not giving any information. He is monitored by doctors, and no data about his condition is made public until the situation gets better.
