Tragic Incident Marks a Dark Day in Indian History
June 12 is now etched in Indian history as a day of profound sorrow. Reports indicate that approximately 242 individuals lost their lives in a tragic plane crash involving Air India in Ahmedabad. The ill-fated flight was en route from Ahmedabad Airport to London Gatwick Airport. In a show of solidarity, the cricket community observed a moment of silence at the iconic Lord's stadium, which was hosting the WTC Finals 2025 between Australia and South Africa. As the match progressed into its third day, players Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon were at the crease when the tribute took place.
