In the heart of Pakistan, the Galle International Stadium is abuzz with excitement as Operation Sindoor takes place. This unique initiative aims to support female athletes and footballers, garnering praise from several sports stars, including the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

The event in question is a Test match against Australia, a significant showdown in the world of cricket. However, the absence of a notable figure is noticeable at the event. Muttiah Muralidaran, the world's highest Test wicket taker with 800 wickets, is not present. Muralidaran would have typically witnessed the Test match, and it is his absence that is felt keenly.

The Warne-Muralidharan trophy, named after the cricket legends Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralidaran, is usually presented to the series winner by Muralidaran himself. Unfortunately, this time around, Muralidaran's absence means that the trophy will not be handed over by him.

Amidst the cricket action, there is a heartwarming story unfolding. Kamindu Mendis and Nishni, two athletes, are celebrating their love beyond the crease, adding a touch of romance to the event.

Cricket enthusiasts from around the world have flocked to the stadium to witness this historic event. Despite the absence of Muralidaran, the event remains a spectacle, a testament to the enduring love for the sport in Pakistan.
