WTC Final 2023: Times Team India wore black arm bands

Team India is playing against Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023. While cricket fans around the world were eager to witness the great finale, the members of both teams were sporting black arm bands ahead of the game.

Why do players wear black bands during games?

Not just in cricket, but in nearly every sport, team or individual, the black band tribute represents players showing support or paying respect to any type of loss of life or sorrow, signifying sadness.
