Team India's special gesture on the eve of Diwali

THERE'S NO better way to celebrate the festival of lights than spread light in the lives of lesser priviliged people. Members of the Indian cricket team on Thursday celebrated the festive occasion with India's visually challenged cricket team at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.

It was a sight to behold as team captain Virat Kohli interacted with them, while the rest of the players lighted diyas and were seen having fun.

On asked how he felt after celebrating Diwali with special people, Kohli said it was a lovely feeling to meet cricketers who don't enjoy the priviliges that others do, but still have the passion and hunger to play and succeed. The Test captain said it was indeed a very, very special Diwali for him and the other guys who joined in to make a difference to someone's life and inspire them to play even more.

Kohli also congratulated his RCB teammate and South African batsman AB de Villiers ahead of the 100th Test of his career, saying that he's a genuine person and as a cricketer, he's among the top 4-5 batsmen in the world.
