IPL 2025
On April 20, 2025, during the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium, CSK players wore black armbands as a mark of respect for their teammate Devon Conway’s father, who had passed away a few days prior.
This gesture was a poignant moment in the match, reflecting the team’s solidarity and support for Conway during his time of personal loss.
In addition to this tribute, the match was notable for the debut of 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre, who became the youngest player to debut for CSK in the IPL.
Such gestures of wearing black armbands are common in cricket to honor individuals who have recently passed away, demonstrating the sport’s tradition of respect and remembrance.
For instance, earlier in 2025, the Indian cricket team wore black armbands during the Champions Trophy semifinal against Australia to pay tribute to the late Padmakar Shivalkar, a legendary left-arm spinner who passed away in March.
These acts underscore the deep sense of community and empathy within the cricketing world, where players and teams come together to support each other beyond the boundaries of the game.
