Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill extended heartfelt appreciation to the Indian Armed Forces for enabling a successful resumption of the IPL 2025, which had been briefly suspended amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan.
Following Gujarat's emphatic 10-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, Gill took to Instagram to express his gratitude: "Cricket returns, but the real heroes never left their post. Heartfelt gratitude to our armed forces. Jai Hind."
