Holi, the festival of colours, love and friendship merges with the Indian Premier League (IPL), the grandest spectacle in world cricket. When these two festivals, both driven by the objective of inclusivity and joy, come together, it creates a mesmerizing sight. It turns out to be a sight to behold as various cricketers from across the world, transcending nationalities and communities, enjoy the festival together.
Rohit took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a video of him playing Holi with his wife, Ritika, daughter and Samaira. He was seen having fun in a puddle of colour and water along with his MI teammates, which also included Tilak Varma.

Notably, Rohit's franchise MI started their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign with a six-run loss to Gujarat Titans (GT) at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. With this loss, MI started their new era in captaincy of Hardik Pandya on a bad note.
Sai Sudarshan (45) and skipper Shubman Gill (31) played crucial knocks to take GT to 168/6, with Jasprit Bumrah's 3/14 in four overs keeping their willows quiet largely. In the run chase, after two quick wickets, Rohit (43) and Dewald Brevis (46) gave MI some momentum with a 77-run stand, however, they fell short by six runs in face of some excellent bowling by pacers Spencer Johnson, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma, who took two wickets each. MI was restricted to 162/9 in their 20 overs.
MI's next match will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
