Ex-Pakistan captain Javed Miandad shared a hilarious incident among India and Pakistan cricketers at a hotel in Bengaluru during Holi. The cricketers threw each other in the pool and also put colors for fun. 

In a Youtube video, Javed said “During the Bangalore Test, both the teams were staying in the same hotel. There was not much to do around there. In the evening, we all used to spend time together. It was around the Holi season."

“People started playing Holi in the hotel. I remember we even entered Imran Khan’s room and everyone was putting colors on each other. We did not even leave Indian cricketers. They, of course, had no problems,” he added.

Miandad revealed he had to find Ravi Shastri who was hiding and then they threw him in the pool. “Ravi Shastri was hiding. We entered his room, and we picked him up and we threw him in the pool. All of us really enjoyed together,” he said.

Calling it the best tour, Miandad said we should celebrate each other's festivals. “It was Pakistan’s best tour. We were invited everywhere. We all celebrated Holi together. Everyone should participate in each other’s festivals. I don’t see no harm in it,” he said.

“I was always thrown in the water. We were pushing each other in the pool. We used to have so much fun,” he signed off.
