NEW DELHI: In a strikingly worded message early Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed Team India’s Asia Cup triumph over Pakistan, just minutes after result of finals, invoking “Operation Sindoor” to frame the win as a moment of national pride.“OperationSindoor on the games field. Outcome is the same – India wins! Congrats to our cricketers,” the Prime Minister posted on X.Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India clinched the high-voltage final by five wickets — this was India’s third win in a row in this tournament against Pakistan. This showdown unfolded against a backdrop of heated debate over whether India should even take the field against Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which left the country outraged.
