‘Bus peeke bhaang mat chala’ – Fans react to Indian cricketers celebrating Holi in team bus ahead of the 3rd BGT Test

On Tuesday, March 7, members of Team India painted their team bus in the hues of Holi as the team that, included the captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer engaged in a wild game of Holi. Gill posted a video of himself and his teammates having fun on Instagram, in which Rohit paints Kohli inside the team bus.

Putting any rumours of a disagreement between them to rest during the festival of colours, Rohit and Kohli were completely out of control. Ishan Kishan, a young wicketkeeper-batsman for India, also tweeted a funny video of Indian players celebrating Holi while decked out in colourful attire.

Skipper Rohit had already extended his fans his best wishes for Holi. He tweeted, ‘”A day of colours, joy, food, and fun with friends and family. Jam ke holi khelo but thoda sambhalke & stray animals ko bachake.” India star batter Suryakumar Yadav celebrated Holi with his wife in the meantime. Posting the celebratory photos, Surya wished everyone a happy and prosperous day. Importantly, the fourth BGT Test between India and Australia will take place at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
