RR vs PBKS Match Begins with a Tribute to Indian Army

The match between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 began with an emotional tribute to the Indian Army. Just before the toss, players from both teams stood together and observed the national anthem at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Fans present in the stadium and those watching on TV were deeply moved. The national anthem played at 3:25 PM, five minutes before the match’s scheduled start. This moment brought a wave of patriotism and unity across the crowd.

BCCI Thanks the Army for Their Role in National Security

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) organized this special tribute to show respect to the army. It was the first match after the brief suspension of the tournament. The BCCI expressed its gratitude to the armed forces for their bravery during recent tensions between India and Pakistan.

Players and match officials stood in silence, with hands on their hearts, as the anthem echoed through the stadium. The Indian Army’s efforts in defending the nation during the conflict were praised by all. Their role in restoring peace and order allowed the IPL to resume safely.

Operation Sindoor: A Nation Remembers

The tribute also reminded everyone of Operation Sindoor, a mission where the Indian Army responded to the Pahalgam terror attack. In that attack, 26 civilians lost their lives. The army took swift action and destroyed multiple terrorist bases in Pakistan and PoK. Senior terrorist leaders were also eliminated during the operation.

This bold move by India drew global attention and appreciation. The army’s actions not only protected the country but also gave people the strength to move forward. Sunday’s tribute was a small gesture to honor their courage.

Emotions Run High in the Stadium

The anthem, the visuals, and the army’s story made fans emotional. Many shared the moment on social media, calling it a “proud day for India.” As the match got underway, one message echoed loudly: Jai Hind.
