In the border stand-off against India and China, at least 20 Indian soldiers attained martyrdom in the clashes along the LAC in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. The tension between both the countries was evident yet again as Indian, as well as Chinese soldiers, suffered casualties. Post the incident, Twitter was filled with condolences and tributes to Indian soldiers who lost their lives in the face-off.
The cricket fraternity also condoled their demise and many well-known players including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma shared condolence messages. India veteran Harbhajan Singh even appealed to everyone to boycott Chinese products. Shikhar Dhawan and Virender Sehwag also saluted the bravery of soldiers and expressed grief over their demise.
Meanwhile, England also announced a 30-man training squad for the upcoming Test series against West Indies. Many names like Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow and James Anderson paved their way in the squad.
Many players are hoping for the IPL to get underway in the latter part of the year. With the T20 World Cup in Australia in jeopardy, the cash-rich league might be slated in October-November window.
At a time when there are no sporting activities across the country, Indian players are keeping themselves fit amid the pandemic. Chennai Super Kings vice-captain Suresh Raina also shared a video where he was seen training before the resumption of cricketing activities.
