Hyderabad | April 23, 2025
Cricket paused for a moment of grief as players of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) observed a minute’s silence before their IPL 2025 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in memory of the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which claimed 26 innocent lives just a day ago.
As a mark of respect, both teams wore black armbands and refrained from typical pre-match celebrations such as fireworks and cheerleader performances, lending a somber tone to the match that began amid heightened emotions.
