A string of sports stars such as veteran Indian opener Virender Sehwag, shuttler Saina Nehwal, and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir took to social media to salute pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) following reports that declared they crossed the Line of Control (LoC) with their fighter jets and carried out air strikes on terror camps across the Line of Control on Tuesday.
Here’s how the sports fraternity reacted:
The boys have played really well. #SudharJaaoWarnaSudhaarDenge #airstrike
