Indian Cricketers Celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 with Fervor

As the nation celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi on August 27, 2025, several Indian cricketers took to social media to extend their wishes on the auspicious occasion. T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav posted pictures of himself and his wife Devisha Shetty praying in front of the Ganpati idol at their Mumbai home, captioning the post "Ganpati Bappa Morya."

India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant also joined in the celebrations, sharing an Instagram story that read, "Ganpati Bappa Morya. Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Ganesh Chaturthi." Other current and former Indian cricketers also expressed their joy and reverence for the festival.

The 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, which began on August 27, will conclude with the Visarjan on September 6. This year's festivities hold special significance for the Indian cricket team, as they prepare to defend their Asia Cup title in the UAE in September. Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Men in Blue in the continental tournament, with Shubman Gill appointed as the new T20I vice-captain.

Under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, the Indian team had clinched the 2023 Asia Cup trophy, defeating Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final. Pacer Mohammed Siraj was the star of the show, registering stunning figures of 7-1-21-6 to bundle out the opposition for a paltry 50. The Indian team chased down the target in just 6.1 overs to lift the coveted trophy.
