On Holi 2022, Virat Kohli’s simple message to his fans turned out to be a great success, especially after facing loads of backlash and being called pretentious and hypocritic in the past.
This year, the former Indian skipper decided to stick to a plain “Happy Holi to all” wish that he shared from his Twitter account and this change was welcomed with open arms.

Before 2022, every year Virat Kohli and some of the other well-known Indian cricketers made it a point to talk about how animals should not be put colours on and people should not waste water on Holi.
On festivals like Diwali, they used to tell their fans not to burst crackers as it would lead to a sudden rise in air pollution.
And yet, every time any one of these cricketers told the common people how to celebrate their own festivals, they were reminded of whenever they did anything against what they had preached.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has also been called out for talking about animal rights in the past, especially during Holi and how we should protect our pets from the colours. However, he was reminded of the time when Team India cricketer ordered beef and pork to eat in Australia early last year.

Even the leader of the Indian bowling attack, Jasprit Bumrah has been trolled in the past for asking people to not burst crackers on Diwali but later literally walking under a sky full of smoke and pollution created about of firecrackers being used at his wedding.
So, after finally learning his lesson over the years, the former skipper of the Royal Challengers Bangalore decided to not share superficial “gyaan” with the public about how to celebrate a festival and simply wish them a happy and peaceful Holi.
This did surprise a lot of people, most of whom were rather happy and welcomed this change with open arms on Twitter:
What a pleasent change. Thank you and happy Holi to you too Virat bhai.
