Why Chennai Super Kings Players Wore Black Armbands Against Mumbai Indians?
@Source: news18.com
Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings players took the field against Mumbai Indians wearing black armbands in their second meeting of the season. The contest, held at the Wankhede Stadium, saw MI cruise to a dominant nine-wicket win and thus exact revenge of their defeat to CSK earlier in IPL 2025.
There hasn’t been any official statement from CSK why the players wore black armbands but according to Sportstar, it was to mourn the passing away the father of teammate Devon Conway.
Conway, who hails from New Zealand, has been part of CSK since 2022 and was member of their title winning squad in 2022. The Kiwi international has so far played 26 games and scored 1018 runs at an average of 46.27 and a strike-rate of 139.83. He has so far scored 10 half-centuries with a best of unbeaten 92. He missed the last season due to a thumb injury.
However, the 33-year-old has played thrice in IPL 2025 so far in which he has scored 94 runs at the strike-rate of 127.02. CSK have been struggling this season with six defeats from eight matches with their playoffs hopes hanging by a thread now.
