The Sri Lankan cricket team honored their beloved 'legendary cheerleader' Percy Abeysekera, who passed away at the age of 87, during their World Cup match against India. Abeysekera, affectionately known as 'Uncle Percy,' was a passionate supporter of Sri Lankan cricket and an iconic figure in the cricketing world. During the match, Sri Lankan players wore black armbands as a mark of respect and remembrance for Uncle Percy, who gained immense popularity during the 1996 World Cup.
