Indian cricketers have joined the sporting fraternity in celebrating International Mother’s Day on Sunday (May 10). The cricketers took to their respective social media profiles and posted heartfelt dedicated messages to their mothers who have played a vital role in their lives.
While some athletes are fortunate enough to spend the COVID-19 enforced lockdown period with their mothers, others are living far away from their families at the moment.
Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar shared a childhood photo of himself with his mother and called her mother “Always Amazing and Irreplaceable.”
You are AAI to me because, besides everything else you are Always Amazing & Irreplaceable.
Thank you for everything you have done for me. 🙏Happy #MothersDay Aai. pic.twitter.com/UVQeMMmRjX
