A lovely gesture. Our soldiers deserve all the recognition. Hoping this leads to more army personnel getting access to watch matches at Eden Gardens.

While the sentiment is good, I hope the discussion on Eden Gardens' redevelopment is transparent. We don't want the historic character of the stadium to be lost. CAB should involve public feedback.

Interesting read. The collaboration between sports bodies and the military seems to be a growing trend. The 2026 World Cup memento is a nice touch for future nostalgia.

Dada always knows how to make a connection! First on the off-side, now with the Army. But seriously, all the best to Team India for the Super 8! Let's bring the cup home. 🏏

Good move. The armed forces have many talented cricketers too. Maybe this can lead to more inter-services tournaments or talent identification programs with CAB.
