Delhi: Amid the increasing tension between India and Pakistan, veteran batsman Virat Kohli has expressed his support for the country’s army. After incidents like missile attacks and air alerts on the border, there has been an increased concern about security across the country. It also affected the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and the tournament was suspended on Friday.
Kohli salutes the army
Kohli wrote on Instagram, “We are standing with our soldiers and salute their courage. In this difficult time, he is protecting our country. We will always be borrower of their spirit and sacrifice. Thank you to our brave soldiers and their families heartily.”
This post of Kohli came when Pakistan attacked many areas of Jammu, Pathankot and Punjab-Rajasthan. However, the Indian Army strongly responded to these attacks and gave a befitting reply to the enemies.

After this, Jaspreet Bumrah and T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav also wrote messages for the army on their social media.

BCCI suspended IPL 2025
The decision to suspend the IPL 2025 was taken when the match of Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was stopped in the middle in Dharamshala. The stadium was evacuated due to security reasons as air alerts were played in Jammu and Pathankot.
This match was important because Punjab Kings could win this match and become the first team to reach the playoffs. However, there was no change in the points table due to cancellation of the match.
BCCI is currently monitoring the situation and is in constant touch with the government. Right now a dozen matches of the league and knockout matches are left. In such a situation, people want to know whether the remaining matches will be done at some other place or the situation will be awaited to become normal.
