Mother’s Day 2018: From Sachin Tendulkar to PV Sindhu, sportspersons wish their mothers

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring the mother and her influence in society.

The modern Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. St Andrew's Methodist Church now holds the International Mother's Day Shrine. Her campaign to make Mother's Day a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. 

It is the day of the year to appreciate, remember and thank mother's for their role in our life. Mothers play a very important role any the life of sports people- sometimes as a teacher or a supporter or a fan or a critic.  

Several sportspersons wished their mothers on Mother’s Day 2018. 

Sachin Tendulkar shared a beautiful picture of her mother on Mother's Day. He wrote, "She is the one who can take place of all others but her place cannot be taken by any other!"
