The Board of Control for Cricket in India paid a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Armed Forces` recent military success, ‘Operation Sindoor’, during the IPL 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings at Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
‘Operation Sindoor’ was a precision strike conducted by India targeting terrorist strongholds in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The coordinated offensive was carried out by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, and is being hailed as a significant achievement in the fight against cross-border terrorism.
