Rough & tough cricketers have a mushy side to them. Mostly seen facing off against their rivals on the pitch, putting up a good fight. Here’s a side to all our favorite cricketers that has been seldom explored. Our very own sporting stars have favorites too; they are big fans of animals. MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli love their pet dogs to the moon and back! Here’s an attempt to propose a toast honoring these animal loving cricketers, immaculately spreading the message of compassion and a one of a kind companionship. Truly dogs and other pets supply warmth, joy and that special kind of loyalty that even fellow humans aren’t capable of. Let’s check out after all who these ‘behind the scene heroes’ are that are responsible for all the positive energy and high spirits that fill up these cricketing stars. Anil Kumble, Rohit Gurunath Sharma and Murali Kartik are some of the big names that have come together to support PETA India’s humble message of encouraging compassion towards animals and helping  animals that are in misery and pain. An increasing number of celebrities also have come to endorse a vegan diet.
