Sharing a picture of himself covered in different colours and holding a plate of food, the legendary cricketer wrote, "Happy Holi everyone!" "Can you guess what's on my plate?" he asked his fans.

This year Holi will be celebrated on 8 March, and Choti Holi or Holika Dahan will be celebrated on 7 March.
Notably, Sachin Tendulkar is the only batsman to score 100 centuries in international cricket. He bid adieu to the game in 2013, and finished as the top scorer in Tests and ODIs.
In his previous Twitter post, Mr Tendulkar recalled Australian spinner Shane Warne who passed away a year ago after suffering a cardiac arrest. He posted a special message on his "great friend" and recalled the humour and charisma of the late Australian legend. He accompanied his tweet with a photograph of himself with Mr Warne.
