Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to celebrate Friendship Day on Sunday. The batting legend shared a cricket analogy to explain what friendship means to him. "Friendships are like floodlights on a cricket field. They enjoy your success from the corner. But if they realise the sun's going down on you, they light themselves up to provide brightness around you. For me, everyday is #FriendshipDay," Sachin Tendulkar said along with a childhood picture of him playing with his friends.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) also extended Friendship Day greetings to their followers with a video on Twitter.
"F.R.7.3.N.D.S - together in the pursuit of perfect10n, for a perfect den. #WhistlePodu #Yellove #FriendshipDay," the CSK captioned the video.
A day before friendship day, Team India vice-captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday answered fans' questions on Twitter.
"Let's celebrate Friendship Day together guys Send me your questions using #AskRo and I will answer as many as I can tomorrow," Rohit tweeted along with a video.
