As India celebrates its 78th Independence Day on August 15, who understands the value of the tricolor more than cricketers, whose tireless day-and-night practice earns them the tricolor jersey? From Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar to Rohit Sharma, who recently stamped the Indian flag by winning the T20 World Cup 2024, everyone shared heartfelt notes on social media, showing how valuable this day is for everyone. While wishing India, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar wrote, “Sportspersons aren’t the only ones playing for India. Every Indian who does their job with honesty and sincerity is a key player for Team India. So, when the national anthem plays today, know that it’s for you, and I hope you’ll feel the same way I did when I heard it every time I stepped out to play for India.
On the other hand, India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, said, “Freedom comes at a price. Our heroes pay it every day with their blood! Never forget. #HappyIndependenceDay.” Take a look at all the reactions summarizing cricketers’ emotional feelings for their country.
