Operation Sindoor was an important military action taken by India after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. The attack led to the loss of 26 civilian lives. In response, India carried out well-planned strikes using the Army, Air Force, and Navy to target terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
As a tribute to this bold operation, the IPL 2025 closing ceremony will include:
- Invitations to the chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, along with other top military leaders
- Special stands in the stadium dedicated to soldiers
- Patriotic song performances and possibly military bands
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said, “We are proud of our armed forces and thankful to them for ensuring our security and safety at all times.”
This event will be a powerful mix of cricket and patriotism, honouring those who protect the nation.
