Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Team India for their thrilling win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final. On X, he called the victory “Operation Sindoor on the games field,” linking it to India’s earlier military response to the Pahalgam terror attack. India won the match by five wickets in an exciting game that drew attention both for cricket and the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.

India Wins Asia Cup 2025
PM Modi’s post connected India’s cricket victory to ‘Operation Sindoor’, carried out after the April Pahalgam attack. Some critics had questioned India-Pakistan matches due to safety and political concerns. The armed forces had struck terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing 100 terrorists. Modi used this reference while celebrating India’s Asia Cup 2025 win against Pakistan.
