On Wednesday, April 23, Mumbai Indians squared off against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. It wasn't the usual atmosphere in the ground as India dealt a heavy blow as terrorists killed 26 tourists in Kashmir on Tuesday.
While the entire nation is mourning the losses, BCCI too issued a few advisories to pay homage to the victims who lost their lives. The players from both teams observed a minute long silence before the start of the match. Meanwhile, MI skipper Hardik Pandya hogged the internet for wrong reasons as the internet bashed him for constantly moving during that silence for peace and humanity.
