On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Indian Cricketer Virat Kohli decided to wish two of the most important women in his life in the most beautiful way.

Happy women’s day to every woman out there, but specially to the two strongest women in my life. My mom for looking after the family in toughest times in life and @anushkasharma for fighting against the odds regularly and standing up for righteousness and changing the norms ❤#happywomenday
