Iyer’s Tribute To The Indian Army
Amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, IPL 2025 faced an unexpected interruption as the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals clash was halted midway. After that, the tournament witnessed a week-long pause. But after the long wait, the action is finally back on track.
After the abandonment of the last match, the cricket fans are set to enjoy the thrilling T20 action as the Rajasthan Royals cross swords with the Punjab Kings in Jaipur. But before the action began, PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer stole the spotlight at the toss with a touching tribute to the Indian army, winning hearts with his heartfelt gesture.
“Kudos to the army forces who have worked hard for the country and made sure that we are in a comfortable position,” Iyer said.
National Anthem, A Tribute To The Indian Armed Forces
Amidst a national crisis a few days back, Indian armed forces turned into the safe shield to the country and saved the country. In words, appreciation will fall short, but BCCI’s heartwarming gesture wins fans’ hearts. Before the Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match, the national anthem was played proudly as a powerful salute to India’s brave soldiers.
The entire Sawai Mansingh Stadium sang the national anthem, which was a goosebump-inducing moment. That heartfelt moment grabbed the attention. As the PBKS is batting first, fans are anticipating a thrilling match.
