Mothers’ Day Special: Watch Mumbai Indians stars get emotional and thank their mother for all the sacrifices

“Only a mother’s love is unconditional. It is only her who at the end of the day asks you, ‘Have you eaten anything? Did you get a sound sleep?',” said Rahul Chahar, the Mumbai Indians leg spinner while wishing her mother on the occasion of International Mother’s day on May 9. The Mumbai based franchise released a video on Twitter where the star players talk about the importance of a mother in their life and wish her on an important day. 

Apart from Chahar, Suryakumar Yadav, Kiwi bowlers Trent Boult and Adam Milne, South Africa's Quinton de Kock, India's Jayant Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary and the Pandya brothers Hardik and Krunal featured in the video. 

While Boult and Milne thanked their mother for handling them, Surya got emotional talking about the sacrifices his mother made for him. “You can’t explain in it in words, the sacrifices that a mother makes for her child,” he said. 

“For me, it’s an emotional thing actually (talking about his mother), but I would like to wish her good health,” Surya said trying to gulp emotions down his throat, while they were clearly visible in his eyes. “And it’s my time now to give whatever little that I could for all she has done and to keep her happy and as close as possible to me,” added the 30-year-old, who made his India debut in February. 

The Haryana spinner, Jayant too was overwhelmed talking about the sacrifices his mother made for him to archives his dreams. “My mother is the best because of all the efforts and sacrifices she has put in raising three of us (him and his siblings) and making us the best versions of ourselves,” he said. 

Former Jharkhand skipper Saurabh Tiwary said that he understood the importance of his mother in his life only once he went out of his home for various tours and tournaments. Senior Pandya, Krunal too was emotional enumerating all that his mother has done for him and his brother to make them realise their dreams.
