There were no cheerleaders, fireworks, music or DJ activities that are usually associated with an IPL match during the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Wednesday. This was in accordance with the directives issued by the BCCI as a sign of respect for the victims of Tuesday’s terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The two teams observed a minute’s silence before the start of play, and the players and umpires wore black armbands throughout.
