Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s congratulatory message to Team India after their Asia Cup 2025 victory against Pakistan has sent shockwaves across social media. His post, “#OperationSindoor on the games field. Outcome is the same – India wins!” was seen by many as a witty but politically charged jibe at Pakistan.

Congrats to our cricketers.

Fans were quick to react online. Some hailed the Prime Minister for “cooking Pakistan on and off the field,” while others said the use of “Operation Sindoor” blurred the lines between sportsmanship and geopolitics. Memes also flooded in, with users linking the win to “Operation Tilak” after Tilak Varma’s batting cameo.
The post sparked a storm of debates, with many calling it Modi’s boldest cricket-related remark yet. Whether seen as humor or hard-hitting sarcasm, it ensured that the final’s off-field narrative remained as intense as the game itself.
