Indian players were seen sporting black armbands on Day 3 of the third Test against England in Rajkot. It was a good start for the hosts on the third morning as they got two early wickets after England made a rollicking start with the bat scoring 207 runs in just 35 overs and lost just two wickets.
The Indian team is batting first for the first time in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup after England skipper Jos Buttler went on his gut feel to bowl first in Lucknow on Sunday, October 29. While India will aim to stay unbeaten, England are looking to stay alive in the race for the semis.
Just before the national anthems were played, players from both India and South Africa along with everyone in the stadium observed a minute's silence in the memory of the world-renowned statesman. Apart from the South African team, the umpires Marais Erasmus and Adrian Holdstock were also spotted wearing the black armbands.
