At the New Chandigarh Stadium, a special tribute was paid to Indian cricket icons Harmanpreet Kaur and Yuvraj Singh with the unveiling of stands named in their honor. This event coincided with the exciting lead-up to the second men’s T20I clash between India and South Africa and was a momentous occasion attended by family, teammates, and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
