The act of wearing black armbands is an intoxicating reminder of the far-reaching impact of terrorism on innocent lives. As IPL continues to unite people through cricket’s love, this moment like this emphasizes the importance of respect, compassion and solidarity in the face of tragedy.
The tragic incident in Pahalgam involved suspicious terrorists from the resistance front, a separatist group of the forbidden terrorist group Lashkar-e-taiba who fired mercilessly among innocent tourists enjoying vacations in the area. Unfortunately, this outrageous behavior is marked as a catastrophic terrorist attack on India since the 2008 Mumbai attack, which stirred painful memories of the 2019 Pulwama attack.
During the SRH VS MI match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad, the team captain, Pat Cummins and Hardik Pandya all expressed their heartfelt condolences to the victims of the shocking attack and provided nothing to the omniscient family.
“I first want to send condolences to the victims of the terrorist attack. We have condemned any such attacks as a team and a franchise,” said Hardik Pandya.
“It also breaks our hearts. Our idea is with the victims and their families,” Cummins said.
