Both the Indian and Australian cricketers wore black armbands today. Do you know why? The much-awaited India-Australia World Test Championship has kickstarted a couple of hours back and the action is quite exciting at the moment. Though Australia lost Khawaja early to Siraj, both Warner and Labuschagne have negotiated the first hour or so and are currently looking to gain the upper hand.
Those who are watching the match might get doubt why both Indian and Australian players are wearing black armbands while playing. Ahead of the match, both the players observed silence as a mark of respect for the victims of the horrific train accident that happened in Balasore, Odisha. They also took the field wearing black armbands as a tribute to them.
Currently, Australia is batting the first session and is 54/1 after 16 overs. Khawaja fell for a duck but Warner and Labuschagne are continuing. Umesh Yadav has been taken to the cleaners by Warner as four 4s were struck in his over.
