Twitter Reactions: Cricket fraternity reacts to India's 'Operation Sindoor'

The operation Sindoor has been a success for the Armed forces, who managed to eliminate 70 terrorists with precision missiles on Wednesday in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), and has fought back after the brutal attack in Pahalgam, which led to the loss of many innocent civilians in the area.

This might have caused some travelling issues in the IPL for teams where some of the airports in the north have been closed down after the strike, which also includes Dharamshala, which is the venue hosting the next two home games for Punjab Kings (PBKS). However, the cricketing World has shown its respect and appreciation for the operation that eliminated some major Terrorist camps in the region. Some legendary and popular names within the cricketing fraternity have praised and celebrated the soldiers for the successful mission, who have answered back after witnessing the ugly scenes of the attack that got everyone devastated.

Some of the big cricketing names include legends in the form of Sachin Tendulkar. Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Anil Kumble and Shikhar Dhawan. It is safe to say that the cricketers who themselves have contributed a lot to the nation in the sport also appreciate the soldiers who put their lives on the line to protect and serve the country and make sure every individual is living in peace.

Matches in Dharamshala postponed?

The HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala is set to host the next home games for the Punjab Kings (PBKS). However due to the circumstances and the airport being closed down this could lead to the games being postponed or shifted to another venue in the future.

The matches that the HPCA were set to host were between PBKS and  Delhi Capitals, which is to be played on May 8, Thursday, and the game against the Mumbai Indians, which is to be played on May 11, Sunday and will be the first game of the double header.
