The Indian cricket team today celebrated the Independence day with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni raising the national tri-colour here. The event was marked by the singing of the National Anthem and a brief address by Dhoni. The cricketers joined the celebrations just before the commencement of the one-day warm up game against Sri Lanka Invitation XI at the P Saravanamuttu Stadium here. This was the venue where the third cricket Test between India and Sri Lanka was held. "While joining the independence celebrations with the people of India, we remember all those who made sacrifices during the freedom struggles," Dhoni said.
