Virat Kohli’s reaction on India-Pak tension came out, he said big things about the country

Virat Kohli Shares Emotional Tribute to Indian Army Amid Indo-Pak Tensions, IPL 2025 Postponed

As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan, Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has expressed his deep support for the Indian Army. Currently playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), Kohli took to social media to post an emotional message that has been widely praised by fans and the wider cricket community.

In his heartfelt tribute, Kohli wrote:

“We stand in solidarity with our armed forces and salute them for protecting our country in these difficult times. We will always be indebted to our heroes for their unwavering bravery and express our heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices made by them and their families for our great nation.”

He ended his message with “Jai Hind” and added the Indian national flag, symbolizing his patriotism and support.

This message comes at a time when the Indian Army is responding strongly to repeated provocations and drone strikes by the Pakistani military. Reports confirmed that Pakistani drones had been shot down by Indian forces, and the situation remains tense at the border.

Kohli’s Form in IPL 2025

Before the tournament was paused, Kohli was having an outstanding season with the bat. Playing for RCB, he had scored 505 runs in 11 matches at an average of 63.12. This incredible performance had placed him fourth in the race for the Orange Cap — awarded to the highest run-scorer of the tournament. Remarkably, he was only five runs behind the leader, Shubman Gill.

Kohli's leadership on the field and his performance with the bat have been central to RCB’s strong campaign this season. Under his influence, the team was looking like a real contender for the title.

BCCI Suspends IPL 2025 Amid Rising National Tensions

The escalating tension between India and Pakistan has had an immediate impact on the IPL. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to suspend the tournament indefinitely due to safety concerns. Today’s match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which was supposed to take place on May 9, has been canceled.

Virat Kohli and his team were in Lucknow preparing for the match when the decision was announced. The BCCI has now begun making arrangements for all players to return to their homes safely. Special focus is being given to ensure the safe departure of foreign players participating in the tournament.

The BCCI had already seen disruptions on May 8, when the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals had to be stopped midway due to safety alerts. With the security of players and staff being the top priority, the cricket board found it necessary to halt the competition until further notice.

Uncertain Future for IPL 2025

There is currently no information on when or where the remaining matches of IPL 2025 will be held. The BCCI has yet to announce any new schedule or confirm if the tournament will resume at all. Fans across the globe are waiting for an official update from the board.

In the meantime, Kohli’s message has resonated with many, reinforcing his image not just as a cricket legend but also as a responsible and patriotic citizen. His support for the Indian Army during such challenging times has added to the admiration he receives from fans both in India and abroad.
