 The Indian cricket team displayed a poignant tribute to former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh during the second day of the fourth Test match against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Players, including star cricketer Virat Kohli, donned black armbands as a mark of respect for the iconic leader who passed away on December 26, 2024, at the age of 92. This gesture of solidarity was endorsed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which released a statement expressing condolences.



Dr. Manmohan Singh, remembered as the "Father of Economic Reforms" in India, was instrumental in steering the country away from an economic crisis in 1991 during his tenure as Finance Minister. His remarkable contributions shaped India’s economic trajectory, transforming it into a global financial powerhouse.

The former Prime Minister’s demise at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi came after he was rushed to the hospital following complications related to his advanced age. His death marks the end of an era in Indian politics, leaving behind a legacy of visionary leadership and economic transformation.
