On the 14th anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks, several former and current cricketers took to social media to pay tribute to the people who lost their lives in the gruesome incident. More than 160 people died and 100 others were left injured in the Pakistan-sponsored attack that took place on November 26, 2008. Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, and Mohammed Siraj are among those who posted their tributes to mark the 14th anniversary of the violent act.
Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag shared a picture of Shaheed Tukaram Omble, an assistant sub-inspector of the Mumbai Police, who was killed in action while capturing Ajmal Kasab. "14 years since the sad day. He is one of the greatest son of our soil- Shaheed Tukaram Omble. The courage, the presence of mind and the selflessness demonstrated by him on that day- no words, no awards can do justice. Garv hai bahut aise mahaan insaan par," Sehwag wrote.
"Remembering the heroes who fought hard and sacrificed their lives to keep us safe. My tribute to all the brave martyrs of 26/11.. and prayers to the families who lost their loved ones. Always in prayers," Mohammed Siraj wrote.
"26/11 - We remember the innocent lives lost. We remember the courage shown by our forces. Prayers and thoughts with the families of everyone who has been impacted," Sachin Tendulkar wrote.
