World Doubles Squash Championship: On the occasion of Mother's Day, sportspersons and fans on Sunday took to social media to raise tributes to their mothers or to raise a toast to Indian sportswomen who excelled in their respective fields despite achieving motherhood.

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, K.L Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal and badminton star H.S Prannoy were among the Indian sportspersons who took to social media to share photographs with their mothers and sent messages wishing their moms.

“Mothers turn houses into homes and hard times into comforting hugs. My Aai has done that and so much more. Thank you, Aai, for being my rock. Happy Mother's Day,” wrote Tendulkar on his X handle. The post was accompanied by a photograph of Tendulkar with his mother.
