At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru today, November 11, hosts India—the only side in the ongoing Cricket World Cup without a loss—will play the Netherlands in their last league stage encounter. The Men in Blue, together with their support crew, celebrated Diwali with friends and family at the team hotel in Bengaluru on November 11, the day before the match. Images of Team India enjoying Diwali are currently becoming very popular on X.
On X, KL Rahul shared a photo from the Diwali celebration. Cricket players can be seen posing for photos in traditional Indian garb in the image.
In order to wish friends, family, and fans a happy Diwali, skipper Rohit Sharma shared a photo of himself and his wife Ritika online.

Ace players like Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, Ishan Kishan, and Kuldeep Yadav were also present at the celebration.
Headed by Rohit Sharma India has amassed 16 points in the league stage after winning all eight of its games.
