During the IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium on April 12, players from Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) donned black armbands to commemorate the passing of Asha Bhosle, a legendary Indian singer who died at the age of 92. Bhosle passed away at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai due to multi-organ failure, following a brief hospitalization for exhaustion and a chest infection. Her son, Anand Bhosle, confirmed her death. A moment of silence was observed before the match, highlighting the deep respect for her contributions to music. Bhosle's remarkable career spanned over eight decades, during which she recorded more than 12,000 songs across various genres and languages, earning her recognition as the most recorded artist in music history by the Guinness Book of World Records. She received numerous accolades, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Padma Vibhushan. Her remains will be available for public viewing, with final rites scheduled at Shivaji Park. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and many others have expressed their condolences, marking the end of an era in Indian music. In the match, MI's Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first, making two changes to the team.
