The Indian cricket team donned black armbands on Day 2 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne to honor former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who passed away on December 26. Singh, India’s PM from 2004 to 2014, died at AIIMS Delhi due to age-related issues. The BCCI stated, “The Indian team is wearing black armbands as a mark of respect.” Meanwhile, Steve Smith scored his 34th Test century, solidifying Australia’s strong position. Pat Cummins added 49 runs before being dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja.
