MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav | Twitter
Indian cricketers are wearing camouflaged army caps in the third One-Day International against Australia to pay tribute to the CRPF jawans who died in Pulwama terror attack two weeks back.
The camps were handed over to players and team staff by MS Dhoni, honorary Lt. Col. with the Territorial Army, who is playing at his home ground.
Dhoni went to each player and staff individually to give the jersey. Funnily, Kedar Jadhav, after receiving the cap from Dhoni, saluted him.
Here is the video:
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, in a pre-match interview, said the match fees will be donated to the National Defence Fund. "Yes, it is a special cap. It is to pay respect to the martyrs of the Pulwama attack and their families. All the players in the team have decided to donate their match fees of this game to the National Defence Fund," Kohli said.
"I, as the captain of the team would urge everyone in the country to do the same, and help in the education and well-being of the families and children of those who lost their lives in the attack. So, yes, it is a special cap and is going to be a very special game."
