On Tuesday, India marked Independence Day with tremendous enthusiasm. On this very day in 1947, India achieved liberation from British colonial dominance. Athletes have played an equitable role, elevating India’s standing with their illustrious achievements on the field. Cricket, in particular, has significantly contributed to this cause. Whether clinching global championships or setting world records, cricketers have led the charge in bringing honour to the nation.

The cricket community utilized social media platforms to extend their well-wishes on this significant occasion. Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian men’s cricket team, shared a heartwarming message, encapsulating the spirit of the day.

“The tricolour means more than words can ever convey. Happy Independence Day,” tweeted Rohit.
