Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Yuvraj Singh and a whole host of India's favorite cricketers celebrated Diwali in grand style. By decorating their homes and spending time with families as well as giving out messages of peace and prosperity to 130 crore Indians, it was a magnificent way with which India's cricketers ushered in the festival of lights. Rohit Sharma, who will miss the ODI and T20I series against Australia, posted a photo with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and his kid Samaira in their magnificent home in Mumbai.

On the other hand, one could see Sachin Tendulkar light a circle of diyas in his garden while the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Sourav Ganguly wore traditional attire and wished everyone Happy Diwali with their messages of happiness. India's other cricketers are currently in Australia where they will play three ODIs, three T20Is and four Tests from November to January as they enter from one bio-bubble to the other. Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team skipper, already wished many Indians the day before and urged them to not burst crackers as the pollution level in Northern India increased. Here is the list of all the glamorous photos from our favorite cricketers in India during Diwali.
