Cricketers celebrated Raksha Bandhan, posted pictures on social media

Rishabh Pant hasn't played active cricket for a while as he is still recovering from his car accident which occurred last year. The player has started practising on the grass but it will take time for him to get back to match fitness. The player shared a story on his Instagram handle where a note from her sister can be seen alongside a rakhi on Oant's hands.

Virender Sehwag too shared some images with his sister on his social media handle. He wrote a beautiful poem to narrate the special bond between a brother and sister.

कच्चे धागों से बनी पक्की डोर है राखी
प्यार और मीठी शरारतों की होड़ है राखी
भाई की लंबी उम्र की दुआ है राखी
बहनों के पवित्र प्यार की दुआ है राखी ।

सभी को रक्षा बंधन की ढेरों शुभकामनाएँ pic.twitter.com/XE9gD10n09
