To show respect, today’s game will not feature cheerleaders or fireworks
At Wednesday’s Indian Premier League game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the league will honor the victims of the Pahalgam terror tragedy.Before the game starts, there will be a minute of silence, and all players, referees, and match officials will wear black armbands. Today’s game will be devoid of cheerleaders and fireworks out of respect.
Following a vicious attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that claimed the lives of at least 26 individuals, including two international visitors, the homage was held. According to reports, the attackers appeared Tuesday afternoon in the upper parts of Pahalgam, emerging from the woodlands close to the Baisaran meadows.According to BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia, “the cricketing community is deeply shocked and anguished by the tragic loss of innocent lives in the gruesome terror attack at Pahalgam.” “On behalf of the BCCI, I offer our deepest sympathies to the families of the deceased and offer prayers for their souls, all the while strongly denouncing this heinous and cowardly act.”
“We stand hand in hand at this hour of tragedy, sharing their pain and grief,” Saikia continued.
