Holi, the festival of colors, spread joy across India. Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, known as the "God of Cricket," made it even more exciting. Before the International Masters League T20 final, he celebrated Holi with his India Masters teammates. His cricket skills are unmatched, but his playful side during the festival delighted fans.
Sachin’s Fun Holi Prank on Yuvraj Singh and Ambati Rayudu
To begin with, Sachin led the celebrations, making sure everyone joined in. A viral video showed him knocking on Yuvraj Singh’s door. At that moment, Yuvraj was asleep. Without wasting time, Sachin and his teammates covered him in dry and wet colors. Eventually, they convinced him to wake up and join the fun.
Similarly, Ambati Rayudu became their next target. The team pulled him into the celebration with laughter and colors all around. Water balloons flew, and the festive spirit took over the camp. As a result, fans loved the video, which captured the strong friendship among these cricket legends.

India Masters Crush Australia in Semi-Final
After the lively Holi celebration, India Masters delivered a powerful performance. They crushed Australia by 94 runs in the semi-final of the International Masters League T20.
First, India Masters batted and posted a massive 220/7 in 20 overs. Yuvraj Singh led the charge, smashing 59 off 30 balls with seven sixes and a four. Meanwhile, captain Sachin Tendulkar played a vintage knock of 42 off 30 balls. His classic strokes thrilled the fans. Although Australia’s Xavier Doherty and Dan Christian took two wickets each, they couldn’t stop India’s dominant batting.
Next, Australia’s chase fell apart quickly. Shahbaz Nadeem bowled brilliantly, taking four wickets. In addition, Irfan Pathan added two more. Consequently, Australia collapsed for just 126 in 18.1 overs. This win not only secured India Masters a spot in the final but also gave them sweet revenge for their earlier loss. Previously, Shane Watson and Ben Dunk had dominated India in the group stage.
Holi Boosts India Masters’ Confidence for the Final
Meanwhile, the Holi celebrations gave the team extra motivation before the final on Sunday. Their energy and unity were clear both on and off the field.
Looking ahead, Sachin Tendulkar, leading from the front, appears ready to shine again. Fans continue to admire his skills and his joyful spirit, whether he’s smashing boundaries or playing with Holi colors.
