'75 glorious years': Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other sportspersons greet India on 15 August

With India celebrating its 75th Independence Day on Monday, Indian sports celebrities took to Twitter to greet the nation. Among the players to tweet on the auspicious day were current and former Indian cricketers including skipper Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Cheteshwar Pujara, VVS Laxman, Mithali Raj. Other sportspersons poured in their wishes as well including hockey stars Sreejesh PR and Rani Rampal. This year’s celebrations are extra special given India has completed a platinum jubilee since gaining independence from Great Britain in 1947. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday credited India’s success at the Commonwealth Games to the transparency in the selection process. Addressing the nation from Red Fort on the 75th Independence Day, Modi said: “We saw in the recently-concluded sports events we did well. It’s not that we didn’t have talent earlier, but transparent selection bereft of nepotism has led to Indian scoring medals.”
