The Indian Premier League (IPL) paid its respects to the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack during today's match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
In a heartfelt tribute, all players, umpires, and match officials will wear black armbands, while a minute’s silence will be observed prior to the start of the game. Additionally, there will be a noticeable absence of cheerleaders and fireworks, as a sign of respect for those affected by the tragedy.
The gesture follows a devastating attack that occurred earlier this week in Indian-administered Kashmir. At least 26 people, including two foreign tourists, tragically lost their lives when terrorists launched an assault in the Baisaran meadows near Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon.
SRH look to extract revenge against MI
SunRisers Hyderabad will have the opportunity to extract a revenge win against the Mumbai Indians as they face them in what will be a critical match of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 23, Wednesday.
The SunRisers' bowling unit conceded ridiculous number of runs even when they beat the Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. With no longer any experienced spinner to depend on either in the squad, the Orange Army face an uphill task to reach the playoffs.
Having registered three consecutive wins, Mumbai Indians now look completely different side. Their victory over the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday is the most complete batting performance the five-time champions have produced this year. Rohit Sharma finding his form again invites more worry for the SunRisers.
