Indian captain Virat Kohli took to Twitter to post a Republic Day message to his fans on Thursday.

The 28-year-old re-visited memories of his childhood when he used to watch the parades and wave the Indian flag with pride.

“Hello everyone, just want to wish everyone a Happy Republic Day,” said Kohli.

“It’s a historic day for our nation and one that we can be very proud of. I’m sure everyone, just like me, have a lot of memories connected to Republic Day – from going to see the parades to you know hoisting the flag or just waving the flag around with pride is something I remember doing.”

The dashing Delhi batsman also asked people to bring about a positive change in society.

“I hope that everyone takes this day as an opportunity to make a positive change in the society around you and push the nation to the level it belongs to be at. So, enjoy the day and remember it’s never too late to start doing something good,” he added.
