India celebrated the Festival of Colors - Holi on March 7, 2023, with great fervor, and cricketers across the country were not left behind by any means.
With the Indian men's team in the country preparing for the final Test against Australia as well as the world's best women cricketers assembled in Mumbai for the Women's Premier League (WPL), it was bound to be a dynamic affair.
