In a series of heartfelt messages circulating on social media, cricketers, Olympians, and athletes from across Pakistan have saluted the courage and sacrifice of the military.

Leading the way, PSL franchise Lahore Qalandars released a video featuring captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abdullah Shafique, Zaman Khan, and Mohammad Naeem. The players, standing shoulder to shoulder, declared, “We love our armed forces, we are proud Pakistanis, we are one nation, Pakistan zindabad.” Their message comes as the Pakistan Army successfully shot down Indian fighter jets and drones that violated Pakistani airspace in the dead of night, targeting cities along the border.
