India's leading sporting heroes posted some warm Diwali messages on social media yesterday. Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar enjoyed some mithai (sweets) with former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes and former Australian pace ace Brett Lee.

"Diwali is all about happiness and having sweets. @brettlee_58, @jontyrhodes8 and I enjoyed a few laughs and some mithai too. Have a safe Diwali filled with laughter, everyone," Tendulkar wrote to his 27.5 million Twitter fans.
