LONDON: The Indian cricket team on Thursday wore a black arm tire on the opening day of the fourth test against England as a sign of respect for the famous Cricketer and coach Vasu Paranjape, who died earlier this week in Mumbai.
“The Indian Cricket Team is a black arm sports tire today to respect the death of Shri Vasudev Paranjape #Teamindia,” BCCI Tweets along with pictures of the Indian team wearing black-hand bands.
Paranajpe, 82, died at his residence in Matunga in Mumbai on August 30 and survived his wife and son Jatin, who was a former national voter and Indian player.
