BCCI is paying a special praise for the Indian Armed Forces in front of the game Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings IPL. Video is going viral

Both Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings players were lined up on Sunday to the Indian National Anthem to pay tribute to the IPL 2025 clashes at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The RR-PBKS conflict is the first appropriate match after IPL 2025 was restarted on Saturday after a one-week suspension was suspended due to cross-border tensions with Pakistan. The Saturday conflict between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Rides was washed because of the rain in Bengaluru, eliminating the excitement of restarting IPL.

The national anthem together to honor their valuable contributions before the start of the match in a praise of the Indian Armed Forces, which exhibited their perfect courage to protect citizens from the enemy. “Thanks Weapon Forces” was viewed on the screens of the stadium when the National Anthem of India was played.

I am grateful to the armed forces.
