Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes took to Twitter and shared a picture of him taking a dip in the holy Ganga river.

The former Proteas player visited Rishikesh for the International Yog Festival. Sharing a glimpse of his experience from the festival, Rhodes shared a picture of him submerged in the water and wrote: “Benefits of cold water immersion in the Holy Ganges are both physical and spiritual #moksha #rishikesh #internationalyogfestival”.

While many fans commented, one comment grabbed the attention of all. Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter and made a request to Rhodes asking him to take him along the next time.

“You have seen more India than me my friend.. good to see you enjoying and having a dip in holy Ganga next time take me along”, Bhajji tweeted.
