The IPL season is already turning its page towards teams being eliminated and the competition is only getting fiercer from this point on.  Last night, after a good chase, Mumbai Indians defeated Kings XI Punjab and while the game was a nailbiter for sure, what happened after the match stole the limelight. 

KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, from KXIP and MI respectively, were spotted exchanging their team jerseys as a mark of respect.

A similar moment had occured in the FIFA World Cup, as this is a common tradition observed in the world of football.
