Today, on the occasion of International Women’s day, the Indian cricketer took to his Instagram and wished two of the leading ladies of his life, his mother and his lady love, Anushka Sharma.

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
