Internet Desk: The festival of light and diyas witnesses one of the rarest moments today as the Indian Cricket and German football get bridged by some amazing exchanges of Diwali gifts. The incident might turn out to be one of future instances of a healthy relationship between the Indian culture and the European.
India’s star opening batsman Ajinkya Rahane suddenly received a “Diwali gift” from the German football power-house FC Bayern Munich. It was an FC Bayern Munich jersey named by the Indian opening batsman with jersey no. 27 on its back which is exactly the number Ajinkya wears when he is on national duties.
Happy Diwali to everyone. Thank you to @FCBayern for this special Diwali gift! #MiaSanMia pic.twitter.com/3AwEusTse9

Ajinkya himself recorded a video as soon as he got the gift, conveying his pleasure and gratitude. He also promised for a surprise in the video uploaded on his social media accounts.
Today, FC Bayern Munich posted that “surprise” from Ajinkya Rahane on Facebook as the Indian opening batsman has sent his national ODI team jersey to Dutch and FC Bayern superstar Arjen Robben. The club also wrote,”Arjen Robben certainly enjoyed receiving his Diwali gift from Ajinkya Rahane! We hope all our Indian fans had a very happy Diwali! “.
No doubt, the exchange of the gifts and the gesture of the two would certainly strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
