IPL 2026: CSK, KKR Players Wear Black Armband To Pay Tribute To Late C.D Gopinath
Chennai Super Kings: Players from Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings honoured former India cricketer C. D. Gopinath by wearing black armbands during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. This gesture expressed respect after Gopinath’s passing last week at the age of 96.
Gopinath was the oldest Test cricketer in the country and the second-oldest in the world, after Neil Harvey.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also paid tribute to Gopinath in an official statement, calling his death a significant loss to Indian cricket. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia stated, “Mr. C.D. Gopinath belonged to a generation that helped shape Indian cricket in its formative years. Being part of India’s first Test victory is a distinction that will always be remembered.”
