Indian cricket fraternity shared tweets to support Indian Forces on X.

Amid the ongoing military tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, the Indian cricket fraternity showered praise on the Indian Armed Forces on social media. Active Indian cricketers, former players, and Indian commentators shared tweets on the micro-blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) to hail the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force.

Notably, on April 22, a Pakistan-based terrorist group attacked civilians in the Kashmir valley. A group of terrorists opened fire at tourists Pahalgam. The terror attack, in which 26 people lost their lives, shook the entire nation. Later, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor to attack the terrorist camps inside Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK).

However, the move has escalated the military tensions between India and Pakistan in the northwest regions. Even Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been affected by it. On Thursday, May 8, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) clash in Dharamsala was stopped midway due to security issues. IPL 2025 has also been suspended for a week.
