My mom and Anushka two strongest women in my life: Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has praised his mother Saroj Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma for being the two "strongest" ladies in his life as the cricket star shared a special message on International Women's Day.

The 28-year-old Indian skipper gave a shout-out to all the women around the world and posted a collage on Instagram featuring him along with his mother and Anushka.

"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," writes Virat.

Last month, Virat also shared a sweet Valentine's Day message for Anushka in which he said, "Everyday is a valentine day if you want it to be. You make everyday seem like one for me. @anushkasharma."
