Watch: Tanveer Sangha extends heartfelt wishes for Baisakhi through Cricket Australia

Cricket Australia marked the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi by releasing a short clip of Tanveer Sangha wishing the audience the same. The Australian cricketer, who has Indian roots, could be seen conveying his greetings with a radiating smile on his face, wishing the cyber community and highlighting the elements of unity and happiness brought about by the festival. 

For the unversed, Baisakhi is a festival which is celebrated by the Sikh community to mark the establishment of the Khalsa in 1699. The Khalsa consists of a group of faithful Sikhs who maintain the principles of faith established by Guru Gobind Singh, believed to be the 10th and last human Sikh guru as per mythology.

As far as Indian Punjabi heritage is concerned, several cricketers have represented Australia over the years. Some of them, apart from Sangha, are his elder brother Jason Sangha, and Gurinder Sandhu. As far as the video released by CA is concerned, it has garnered a positive response from spectators online. After all, the administrative body's acknowledgement of the widely-celebrated festival marks their inclusive nature as far as promoting cultural diversity within the sport is concerned.
