The Indian army deployed at the valley has been engaging in different sport activities in extreme winters, news agency ANI said.
The Fire and Fury Corps of the Indian army also shared snapshots of the game on their Twitter handle.
“Patiala Brigade Trishul Division organised a cricket competition in extreme high altitude area in Sub zero temperatures with full enthusiasm and zeal. We make the Impossible Possible,” it said in the tweet.
This comes amid the continuing standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in the Demchok and Depsang regions of eastern Ladakh.
Tensions erupted on May 5, 2020 following a violent clash in the Pangong lake area. The ties between the two countries nosedived significantly following the fierce clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020 that marked the most serious military conflict between the two sides in decades.
