On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, the cricketing fraternity took to social media, especially Instagram and X, to share their heartfelt tributes. From legends to current stars, almost all the cricketing starts including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have put forward their honor on the occasion of the Independence Day.
Virat Kohli led the tributes on Instagram with a message that struck a chord: “Today, we smile in freedom because they stood with unwavering courage. We salute and honour the sacrifices of our heroes. Proud to be Indian. Jai Hind.”
His words resonated deeply, and with fans already buzzing about his anticipated ODI comeback. The special post added to the excitement surrounding his return to international cricket after IPL 2025 glory. He’s reportedly training hard in London, putting himself back into form and fitness.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma uploaded the iconic pic of him hoisting the Indian flag on Barbados soil. Before the T20 World Cup 2024, Jay Shah predicted that Rohit Sharma will place the Indian flag on the Barbados pitch and after ending the ICC trophy drought of 13 years, the Indian captain lived up to the billing.
Gautam Gambhir, now India’s head coach, posted a simple but a powerful message: “My country, my identity, my life! Jai Hind!” His pride in the tricolor runs deep. From his match-winning knocks in two World Cups to mentoring India to Champions Trophy glory in 2025.
