BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said –
“To celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor, we have invited Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi and Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh along with other army chiefs, officers and soldiers to watch the IPL final match in Ahmedabad.”
Sakia said- Closing ceremony dedicated to our soldiers
BCCI salutes the bravery, courage and selfless service of the country’s armed forces. As a symbol of gratitude to the army, we have decided to dedicate the closing ceremony to the armed forces and honor our heroes. Even though cricket has been a national passion, nothing is more important than the sovereignty, integrity and security of our nation.
IPL was stopped for a week
On May 8, the Punjab-Delhi match in Dharamsala was halted midway due to a drone attack by Pakistan. The very next day, the BCCI postponed the IPL for a week. After the ceasefire was announced, the BCCI announced the schedule of the remaining 16 matches of the IPL.
The national anthem was played in most matches after Operation Sindoor
Since Operation Sindoor, the BCCI has consistently shown solidarity with the armed forces. 16 IPL matches were played after Operation Sindoor. The national anthem was played in most matches. Also, the message ‘Thank you, Armed Forces’ was also shown on the giant screen inside the stadium. Earlier, the national anthem was not played in the IPL.
There has been a demand for playing the national anthem in IPL matches for a long time. Ness Wadia, co-owner of IPL team Kings XI Punjab, also raised this demand in 2019. Not only this, he also wrote a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India in this regard.
