Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. "Agar koi aap par patthar phenke toh uspar Phool Phenko, Lekin Gamle ke saath. Jai Hind #OperationSindoor , what an apt name," Sehwag wrote.
Operation Sindoor was launched during the early hours of May 7 in retaliation for the recent Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 innocent civilians.

The Indian Air Force struck nine terror launchpads across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, targeting infrastructure linked to banned groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Crucially, the operation was executed without breaching Pakistani airspace, showcasing strategic precision and restraint.
Several former and current Indian cricketers expressed their solidarity. Gautam Gambhir, Aakash Chopra, Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, and Jhulan Goswami posted strong messages supporting the military response.
Harbhajan wrote: “#OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam. JAI HIND.”
