WTC 2025 Finals: Why have players from Australia and South Africa landed in the ground by tying black bandage?

Delhi: On the third day of the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025, South Africa and Australia players tied black bandages and silence a minute of the Ahmedabad plane crash by paying a minute -minute ICC World Test Championship (WTC).

Significantly, on June 12, Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft from Ahmedabad to London crashed shortly after the takeoff. In this accident, 241 out of 242 passengers aboard the aircraft died, while one person has been admitted to the hospital.

Players and match officials paid tribute to the departed souls. The International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a video of this emotional moment on its Instagram account. He wrote in the caption, “Under the leadership of the cricket world, South Africa and Australia, Ahmedabad pays homage to those who lost their lives in the tragedy.”

Australia increased on the third day

At the beginning of the day, Kagiso Rabada gave South Africa a good start with Nathan Lyon’s wicket, but he failed to dismiss the final pair of Australia quickly. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood batted well and Australia took their lead more than 250 runs. This lead may be overshadowed by South Africa in the fourth innings, which has been looking for its first ICC Trophy for the last 27 years.
