Today is the second day of the Boxing Day Test, which started from December 26, and the Indian cricket team came on the field on Friday wearing black armbands. But if everyone questions why Team India entered the MCG against Australia wearing a black band on the second day, then let us know the reason behind it.
Why is Team India wearing a black armband?
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team has come on the field wearing a black band. Because former Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at the age of 92. After his health suddenly deteriorated on Thursday evening, he was admitted to AIIMS, Delhi, where doctors declared him dead. Therefore, as a tribute to him and in his honor, the Indian cricket team has come on the field wearing a black band today.
Both teams remained tied at 1-1
A five-match Test series is being played between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India won the first test by 295 runs. In the second test, Australia made a comeback and defeated India by 10 wickets. With this, both the teams are tied at 1-1. The third test was drawn due to rain. With this, both India and Australia have got 4 points each.
The women’s team also wore black bands

Meanwhile, the Indian women’s team also reached the Koutambi International Cricket Stadium in Vadodara wearing black armbands to pay tribute to Manmohan Singh.
