The cricket fraternity from all around the world took to micro-blogging platform Twitter to wish their fans on the auspicious occasion of Eid Al-Adha and Onam. Eid Al-Adha, or the festival of sacrifice as it is popularly known, is celebrated across the globe. Onam, on the other hand, marks the celebration of the homecoming of the mythical king in the Indian state of Kerala.

While the players wished their fans on the occasion, a few were involved in a friendly conversation too. The festival of Eid is remarked by absolute delicacies for the food lovers. Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa was very much aware of the fact and wished the Pathan brothers – Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan – a very happy Eid.

He did not forget to mention that he wished to be with them on the occasion to enjoy all the food. He tweeted, “@IrfanPathan @iamyusufpathan eid Mubarak boys!!  I wish I was with you’ll today for the food!!”

Irfan was quick to retweet and wished Eid Mubarak to Uthappa. He also asked him to come over and said they will wait for him to arrive as Uthappa anyway needs hours to finish his serving of food. He retweeted, “@robbieuthappa @iamyusufpathan Eid mubruk mere Bhai, to aja Will wait for u to finish the food as u take hours to finish it”

From English cricketer Moeen Ali to team India head coach Anil Kumble and the BCCI President Anurag Thakur, all took to Twitter to share the message of peace and joy.

The members of the Indian Women’s cricket team also had their good wishes spread among their fans and followers.
