The correct answer is D) Vijay Hazare. Among the listed players, Vijay Hazare is the only one who did not die while playing a match or as a direct result of an injury sustained during a match.

– Wasim Raja died of a heart attack while playing a match in England in 2006.
– Phillip Hughes died in 2014 from a head injury sustained while batting in a Sheffield Shield match.
– Raman Lamba died in 1998 from a head injury sustained while fielding in a club match in Dhaka.
– Vijay Hazare died in 2004 at the age of 89, long after his retirement from cricket, due to age-related health issues.

The deaths of Phillip Hughes and Raman Lamba occurred a few days after their injuries on the field, but were a direct consequence of playing the match. Wasim Raja’s death was sudden during play. These tragic incidents highlight the potential risks associated with the sport, although death directly on the field or as a result of injury is rare.
