Several of Indian cricket's biggest names took to Twitter on Wednesday to wish fans all over the world a Happy Guru Purnima 2022.
Guru Purnima is an auspicious Indian festival dedicated to 'gurus' who are responsible for shaping the lives of their tutors. In many ways, it is also a celebration of all the virtues instilled in the tutors by their 'gurus.'
Many of India's top cricket players have recognized the effect that their 'gurus' have had in their lives. Needless to say, their 'gurus' played an influential role in helping them become the household names that they did.
Cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar posted a Tweet that read, "I have been lucky to have not 1 but 3 Gurus - my father, Achrekar Sir & my brother Ajit. They taught me not just cricket, but also to be a good human being first and foremost. Happy #GuruPurnima to all Gurus."
