The Indian Premier League will pay tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack during today’s match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Players, umpires and match officials will wear black armbands, and a minute’s silence will be observed before the match begins. In a mark of respect, cheerleaders and fireworks will not be part of today’s game.

The tribute comes in the wake of a brutal attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. At least 26 people, two foreign tourists among them, were killed by a group of terrorists who emerged from the dense forests around the trekking paradise of the Baisaran meadows in the upper reaches of Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon.
