Indian ODI cricket captain Rohit Sharma has shown strong support for the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. Rohit expressed his pride in the Indian armed forces on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “Standing tall for our nation’s pride.” He urged citizens to remain vigilant and refrain from spreading or believing any fake news during this sensitive time.
Rohit’s post, which was tagged with Operation Sindoor and Jai Hind, quickly gained momentum online and received widespread support from his followers. His call for national unity resonates deeply as India remains on high alert following the launch of Operation Sindoor. The operation was initiated to target terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following the Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives on 22nd April.
On X, Rohit wrote: “With every passing moment, with every decision taken, I feel extremely proud of our Indian Army, Indian Air Force & Indian Navy. Our warriors are standing tall for our nation’s pride. It’s important for every Indian to be responsible and refrain from spreading or believing any fake news. Stay safe, everyone! #OperationSindoor #JaiHind”
This statement came after India faced a series of missile and drone attacks from Pakistan on Thursday night, which targeted military camps in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur, and other key locations. The situation also impacted the IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala, which was suspended after 10.1 overs due to a power blackout.
Rohit’s message plays a crucial role in promoting a sense of responsibility, especially given his influence over millions of followers. His words highlight the importance of media awareness, national unity, and unwavering support for the armed forces.
Rohit, who recently announced his retirement, will not be seen in action as the IPL 2025 has been suspended for a week.
