Team India pays homage to 26/11 victims
The Indian team observed a one-minute silence for victims of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks before the start of third day's play of second Test in Kanpur.
New Delhi:
The Indian team on Thursday observed a two-minute silence to pay their respect to those killed in the Mumbai terror attacks in November last year, before the start of third day's play in the second Test against Sri Lanka here.
The Indian cricketers, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, stood along the boundary line around 9.30 am at Green Park Stadium with heads bowed down in memory of those died in the terrorist attack.
Last year, India was playing an ODI series with England during the attacks that shook lives across the world. The England team then cut short their tour to India and departed back home.
