On Tuesday, a number of cricket players from India paid their respects to the Indian soldiers.

“Today commemorates 23 years since India’s triumph in the Kargil War, and we will always be grateful for the valiant efforts of the true heroes who gave their lives to defend our wonderful country. Salutations on #KargilVijayDiwas “Suresh Raina, a former Indian batter, tweeted.

The Kargil Battle was waged between May 8, 1999, and July 26, 1999, against intruders from Pakistan who had crossed the Line of Control into Indian territory during the winters of 1998 and had taken up residence in fortified defences that overlooked the NH 1A in the Drass and Batalik Sectors of Kargil in the Ladakh region with the sinister intent of controlling all military and civilian movements on the road.

heroic brave men launched daring charges on well-fortified defended places with unrelenting gallantry and enthusiasm, facing the dangers of nearly impassable terrain and harsh weather conditions to achieve an incredible victory.
