Team India’s star pacer Mohammed Shami has shown his deep respect for the Indian Armed Forces after the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, a strong military response to the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam that took the lives of 26 civilians.
On May 7, the Indian Air Force launched precision airstrikes, targeting nine terror launchpads inside Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). These sites were linked to dangerous terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. What stood out was how the operation was carried out so effectively, without even crossing into Pakistani airspace.
This mission was quick, smart, and carefully planned using advanced intelligence. It was a powerful way to send a message that India will not stay silent in the face of terror.
Soon after the news of the successful strikes spread, a wave of support and pride flowed in from across the country. And many in the cricketing world, including Mohammed Shami, didn’t hold back their emotions.
Shami took to social media and wrote:
“The Indian Armed Forces turned adversity into a powerful Fateh moment. Their courage and valour in the face of danger have made us all proud. #OperationSindoor.”
His words touched many, showing how deeply sportspeople feel when it comes to national pride and safety. It wasn’t just Shami—other former and current players like Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, Jhulan Goswami, and Aakash Chopra also praised the bravery of the armed forces.
This united show of support from India’s cricket stars reflects what millions of Indians feel—gratitude and pride.
In tough times, voices like Shami’s remind us that the country stands as one. Cricket, like the army, inspires the nation—and today, both are standing together for Bharat’s Fateh moment.
