Following India’s stunning victory in the Asia Cup final against Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his exhilaration by drawing a unique parallel. He likened the intense cricket match to “Operation Sindoor,” declaring that the outcome, much like the military operation it referenced, resulted in an emphatic win for India.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi’s post read:
#OperationSindoor on the games field.
Outcome is the same – India wins!
Congrats to our cricketers.
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 28, 2025
This statement connected the sporting triumph to a past military operation of the same name, which India undertook following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Adding to the nationwide jubilation, President Droupadi Murmu also extended her warm congratulations to Team India for their remarkable achievement. In a post on X, President Murmu stated, “My heartiest congratulations to Team India for winning the Asia Cup cricket tournament. The team did not lose any match in the tournament, marking its dominance in the game. I wish Team India sustained glory in the future.” Her message highlighted the team’s undefeated run and expressed hopes for continued success.
