Team India sport Armed Forces Flag on their jerseys

Team India was seen sporting the badges of Armed Forces Flag in the ongoing third and final Test of the series in Delhi. The gesture from the team is to commemorate the Armed Forces Week which will mark December 7 Armed Forces Flag Day in India. The players wore the badges just below the logo of BCCI on their jersey and the gesture is being applauded by their fans. However, the team looked determined on the day and are comfortable in the middle at Ferozshah Kotla Stadium.

The Armed Forces Flag Day or the Flag Day of India is a day dedicated to India towards the collection of funds from people of India for the welfare of the Indian Armed Forces personnel. It has been observed annually on December 7 in the county since 1949 and has become the tradition over the years to respect the day as an honour to the soldiers, airmen and sailors of India. All the three branches of the Indian armed forces, the Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy arrange a variety of shows, carnivals and other entertainment programmes to celebrate the day.

The official Twitter handle of BCCI posted the video of the players standing for the National Anthem when the cameraman took the snap of them wearing the badges of Armed Forces Flag and informed about lovely gesture to commemorate the Armed Forces Flag Day.

Kohli and Vijay punishing Sri Lanka

India, after winning the toss, lost the wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara in the first session. But the duo of Virat Kohli and Murali Vijay has been amazing since then as the former especially has looked in no trouble whatsoever and is approaching yet another century in whites. Vijay too has been punishing the bad balls from the visitors as India look set to post a huge total on the first day itself.
