However, as we investigated, we came to know that the claim was misleading. The viral video is old. Here’s the fact check.

Fact Check 

We started our investigation by conducting a relevant keyword search. This led us to a report published in India Today on 7 March 2023. The report contained an image similar to the viral video. The report read, “India cricketers began their Holi celebrations on their team bus in Ahmedabad on the eve of the Festival of Colours. Senior cricketers Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli joined the likes of Shubman Gill as music and colours dominated the team’s journey on the way back to the hotel from training at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Shubman Gill shared a video of Team India’s Holi celebration from the team bus on Tuesday, March 7. Virat Kohli, holding his kit bag in one hand, can be seen drenched in colours as he adds to the atmosphere by flaunting his singing skills. Shubman can be seen holding the camera and capturing all the madness from the team bus…”

The report contained Shubman Gill’s Instagram post too where he uploaded the video that went viral.

Another report published in ABP Live can be read here.

This makes it clear that the viral video is old and not related to this year’s Holi celebrations.

Conclusion 

From our investigation, we can say that the claim is misleading. The viral video of the Indian Cricket team celebrating Holi inside a bus is not recent. The video shows the Indian Cricket team celebrating Holi ahead of the IND vs AUS 4th Test in Ahmedabad in 2023.
