It is the occasion of Diwali and members of the sports fraternity took to Twitter to share their wishes and messages for fans on this auspicious day. Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli was one of the first to wish on this occasion. He would definitely be in a happy mood and so would the Indian cricket team fans, after India beat Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup last night to stay alive in the competition. Former cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir too took to Twitter to share his Diwali message.

The Indian Premier League teams too wished their supporters on this day while Mirabai Chanu, who clinched a silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics earlier this year, paid a tribute to all the brave soldiers who are guarding our nation all the time.
