Indian Premier League 2020: Kings XI Punjab players give touching tribute to Mandeep Singh’s late father

In a touching gesture, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) gamers wore black armbands of their Indian Premier League (IPL) match in opposition to SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Saturday as a tribute to opening batsman Mandeep Singh’s father, who had handed away on Friday night time.

“Lost his father last night, but Mandy’s out here to open! Raising hands. Way to go, Mandy,” Kings XI Punjab introduced on its twitter deal with.

“Brave of Mandeep to turn up for the game tonight. Lost his father….yet he’s here putting up a brave face. Strength to you and family. Deepest condolences,” tweeted former India opening batsman Aakash, paying tribute to the Punjab participant.

Mandeep, 28, was drafted into the KXIP taking part in XI after lacking three video games, during which he hadn’t completed a lot. He had scored 27, 6, and zero within the earlier matches he was picked for. Then he was dropped for the subsequent three matches, and on Saturday he scored simply 17 off 14 balls on his recall.

Probably, the tragedy affected his give attention to Saturday, as it isn’t straightforward to pay attention after shedding one’s father. Mandeep’s father was reportedly ailing for a very long time.

Mandeep opened the innings on Saturday within the absence of Mayank Agarwal, who’s in nice type within the 13th version of the IPL. In the opposite change within the KXIP’s taking part in XI, Chris Jordan got here in for James Neesham.
