A solemn moment marked the start of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 fixture between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where players, officials, and spectators observed a minute of silence to honor those martyred in recent Indian attacks.
The tribute was held just before the match began, with both teams and match officials standing in silence as a gesture of respect for the victims. Following the moment of silence, the stadium echoed with the national anthem of Pakistan.
The emotionally charged atmosphere intensified as the crowd broke into passionate chants of “Pak Army Zindabad” (Long live the Pakistan Army), reflecting national solidarity in the wake of escalating tensions.
This display of unity comes amid heightened emotions across the country following the cross-border hostilities earlier this week.
