In a moment of profound sorrow, the Indian cricket fraternity has come together to mourn the loss of Ratan Tata, the revered chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, who passed away on Wednesday night at Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai, at the age of 86.

Sehwag’s words mirrored the sentiments of many who believe Tata’s influence was a cornerstone in shaping India’s growth and sports ecosystem. Rohit Sharma called him as a man with a heart of gold while Suryakumar Yadav stated it a 'End of an Era.'



Harbhajan Singh, expressing his grief, noted Tata’s “leadership, humility and commitment” to the nation, saying, “Ratan Tata’s legacy will forever be remembered.”


Others joined in remembering Tata’s silent yet powerful role in promoting cricket. Former all-rounders Irfan and Yusuf Pathan took to social media, with Irfan calling Tata “a true inspiration for millions.”


A Void That Can’t Be Filled

Shikhar Dhawan, with a heavy heart, shared that Tata’s death was a “loss of a great leader.” For many in the cricket community, Tata’s passing feels like the fall of a giant, leaving behind a void that few can fill.


Dinesh Karthik called Tata "an icon and a role model to many". His words resonated with fans and players alike who recognized Tata as a silent yet constant force. Several other cricketers also paid trobute to the great man.






As the cricket fraternity unites in grief, Ratan Tata’s legacy lives on—a legacy built on pillars of integrity, dedication, and a commitment to the nation's growth.

For a man who touched so many lives, the world of cricket will surely feel his absence, as will India. His journey may have ended, but his influence will continue to inspire generations to come.
