New Delhi: As the festival of colour glitters through the day, social media is getting filled with some wonderful messages from the world of cricket. Amid the Indian team's journey to Ranchi and their preparation for the series deciding match, captain Virat Kohli came out to wish "Happy Holi" on twitter, but then the skipper also sent out an important message to his fans.
The skipper initially had posted about advicing India to have a safe holi, but then came forth with a video urging people not to humiliate animals on the street and not to throw water balloons at them.
Happy Holi everybody. Have a great day today. Please make sure no harm is done to the animals on the streets. God Bless all. pic.twitter.com/3a3NbUib0a
