The Indian men’s and women’s cricket teams sported black armbands in their respective matches on Friday to honour former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who died in New Delhi.
Singh, a two time former prime minister from 2004 to 2014, died at 92 owing to age-related ailments.
The men’s team, led by Rohit Sharma, is playing the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne.
The women’s side, on the other hand, is facing West Indies in the third and final ODI in Vadodara.
“The Indian team is wearing black arm bands as a mark of respect in the memory of former PM Dr Manmohan Singh, who passed away,” the BCCI said in a statement.
