The Indian cricket team paid a somber tribute to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh by wearing black armbands on the second day of their Test match against Australia. The gesture honored Singh, a pivotal figure in India's history, who died at the age of 92 in New Delhi.

Singh, who led India as prime minister from 2004 to 2014, passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences due to age-related health issues. His death marked the end of a significant era in Indian politics and economics.
