The India vs West Indies second Test is underway at the iconic Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi, and the West Indies players are donning black armbands to pay tribute to a former cricketer who passed away this week.
After their humiliating defeat in the first Test at Ahmedabad, where the Indians clinched a dominating win by 140 runs and an innings, the West Indies will be hoping to show some resistance in the second Test. They have included some new names in the team and have revamped their playing XI.
Why are West Indies cricketers wearing Black armbands?
As the second match begins at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, India, skipper Shubman Gill, having won the toss, opted to bat first. This is his first toss win as the skipper of the Indian Test side.
Former Indian spinner Anil Kumble rang the bell, and the play was about to begin. The two field umpires, Paul Reiffel and Richard Illingworth, walked out to the middle, and they were followed by the fielding side.
As the West Indies players walked out, they were spotted donning black armbands, which threw all into a moment of doubt. The armbands were revealed to be a tribute to former West Indian cricketer Bernard Julian, who died this week.
