Twitter gets flooded with Raksha Bandhan tweets from Indian cricketers

The Indian cricketers might be far away from their families due to commitments to the national team, but that did not sop them from expressing their love for their close ones. On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, cricketers from both the men’s and women’s team took to their official Twitter handles to post pictures with their brothers and sisters.

Among the cricketers who wished their siblings, there were Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammad Kaif, Yuvraj Singh, Smriti Mandhana, Veda Krishnamurthy and many others. Though Virat Kohli is having a gala time in Sri Lanka after their comfortable series win, he seems to be missing his sister. The Indian skipper took to Twitter and expressed his sadness over the fact that he is not with his ‘Didi’ at the moment. He also posted pictures of his sister and her husband along with the note.

Ajinkya Rahane came up with a childhood picture of his with his sister and it is the epitome of cuteness. Former India international Mohammad Kaif shared a wonderful video which highlights the incredible bond of love between a brother and sister. The video posted by the hero of the NatWest Final is sure to bring a smile on your face. Yuvraj Singh also had a message for all as he wished his fans a very happy Raksha Bandhan. He also asked the brothers to act like gentlemen and protect not only their sister, but all women.

Smriti Mandhana revealed a picture of herself with his brother and termed him as the best brother in the world. Veda Krishnamurthy posted small but funny video with his brother where the two can be seen making faces. Mithali Raj also did not waste the opportunity to wish his brother. The women’s team captain wished his brother Mithun a very happy Raksha Bandhan. Here are all the tweets:
