Cricketers take to Twitter to wish everyone a happy Republic Day

The cricketing fraternity took to social media platform Twitter to wish the entire country a happy Republic Day.

Republic Day honours the date on which the Indian Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India.

The Constitution was adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949 and came into effect on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country's transition towards becoming an independent republic.

It is one of the three national holidays celebrated in India along with Independence Day (August 15) and Gandhi Jayanti (October 2)

Here are how the Indian cricketers expressed their wishes on Twitter.

Indian captain Virat Kohli posted a short video and spoke about how it’s never too late to make a change in this country.

Harbhajan Singh, who has been out of action for the Indian cricket team for a while now posted a short video as well
