“पूर्वी बेड़े का सदा लहरायेगा ऊँचा परचम
ना रुकेंगे हिन्द महासागर में बढ़ते कदम”

So goes the पूर्वी बेड़ा गीत, representing, embodying and sustaining the fighting spirit of the #EasternSword #SunriseFleet.

The lyrics manifest as a promise to keep and also a clarion call to action for every sea warrior who sails upon the eastern seaboard to forever keep service before self and do their utmost to protect and preserve our national maritime interests.

The lyrics have been bound to music by Cdr Thomas Mathew (Retd) @SoundofThomas and brought to life in the voices of the amazingly talented personnel and families of the #EasternSword.

If PAK scored 252 in 42 overs, why is the target for SL 252 and not 253 #StarSports #PAKvSL #AsiaCup23
