Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah laud 'Armed Forces' amid India-Pakistan conflict
The last game was played at Dharamsala between the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals before IPL 2025 was suspended for a week.
Tensions on the border have led to a halt in the season for the cricketers, with the IPL (Indian Premier League) being suspended for one week due to safety concerns for the players and the fans. Despite the recent developments, Indian cricketers have still shown their appreciation towards the armed forces who are putting their lives on the line for the nation.
Indian cricketers who have reacted to the ongoing conflict recently include India's legendary batter Virat Kohli and star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who have shown their support for the soldiers with heartfelt posts on social media. Both cricketers have expressed their gratitude towards the Indian armed forces during these tough times.
In his Instagram story, Kohli wrote that he is standing in solidarity with the soldiers who are protecting the country against external threats. Indian ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah also took to his social media, mentioning how grateful he is to the soldiers who are sacrificing so much for the safety of the country.
"We stand in solidarity with and salute our armed forces for fiercely protecting our country in these difficult times. We are forever indebted to our heroes for their unwavering bravery and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices they and their families make for our great nation," Kohli wrote on his official Instagram handle.
“Grateful to our armed forces for their courage and bravery. We salute them and remain forever in their debt for everything that they do to keep us safe," Bumrah wrote on his 'X' handle.
