Indian and international sports stars took to their social media handles and sent wishes on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, celebrated on Monday, March 31.
Indian bowler Mohammad Siraj who plays for Gujarat Titans in the IPL, took a break and headed home for Eid.
He posted a picture alongside his mother and brother and tweeted: ‘EID UL FITR MUBARAK. Maa baap saath ho tou har din Eid jaisa hota hai aur na ho tou EID ka din bhi udaas dikhta hai. (When parents are around every day is like Eid and when they are not even Eid doesn’t bring the same happiness.) Miss you Pappa #Staysafe #stayhome #Stayhealthy,’ with a crescent moon emoji.
