/ May 12, 2025, 04:21PM IST
India's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, referenced Virat Kohli's retirement alongside military strategy. Discussing India's defence system, Ghai made an analogy to the 1970s Ashes series between Australia and England. He quoted the famous Australian proverb, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don't get ya, Lillee must," highlighting the layers of India's multi-layered defense grid. Ghai emphasized that even if adversaries penetrate some layers, one will still strike back, reinforcing India's robust airfield and logistics protection.#DGMO #LieutenantGeneralRajivGhai #ViratKohliRetires #IndianArmy #IndiaPakistanTension #OperationSindoor #AirfieldSecurity #MilitaryStrategy #IndianDefense #AshesSeries #ThommoLillee #MilitaryBriefing #IndiaNationalSecurity #IndianMilitaryOperations #MilitaryLeadership #toibharat
