As cricket fans across the nation gear up for the IPL 2025 Final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the excitement is not just about the clash between the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). This year’s finale will echo far beyond cricket — it will be a stirring blend of patriotism and performance as legendary musician Shankar Mahadevan, along with his sons Siddharth and Shivam, takes the stage for a soulful tribute to the Indian Armed Forces.
Themed “Operation Sindoor,” the closing ceremony will honour the courage and sacrifice of Indian soldiers, especially those martyred in recent terror attacks such as the tragic Pahalgam encounter. In a powerful medley of music and emotion, the Mahadevans are expected to deliver a performance that unites sport and spirit, igniting pride in every Indian heart.
As reported, the stadium will be adorned in tricolour lights, setting the perfect backdrop for what promises to be a deeply moving ceremony. The musical tribute will precede the final match, making it a memorable evening for the thousands present in the stadium and the millions watching from their homes.
