'They’re always watching over you' - Virat Kohli pens down a touching message while remembering late father on Father's Day
Apart from Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar also shared an old picture with his father Ramesh and said he always remembers his father's advice of being a good person.
On the occasion of Father’s Day, many prominent personalities shared heartwarming messages on social media while reminiscing memories with their fathers. While some recalled childhood memories, others revealed the role which their fathers have played in shaping their lives.
Current Team India skipper Virat Kohli also took it to Twitter and shared a childhood memory and a picture with his late father. The 31-year-old even penned down a touching message while remembering his father on the occasion.
“This father’s day, I urge you all to be grateful for the love of your father but always look for your own path to move forward in life,” wrote Kohli.
“You’ll never have to look behind because they’re always watching over you whether they’re physically there or not. Happy father’s day,” added the Delhi lad.
Kohli was 18 when his father, Prem, passed away due to a heart attack in the wee hours on December 19, 2000. Kohli, who was batting overnight in a Ranji game against Karnataka, surprised everyone by bracing back the field during the next day’s play and stitching a crucial 90-run knock to save Delhi from the follow-on.
Kohli’s grit and commitment to the game earned him many accolades post the incident. Since then, there was no looking back for Kohli as he rose up the ranks and became one of the best batsmen of the current era. The prolific run-machine of India has so far amassed over 20,000 international runs at an average of over 50 across all formats.
Sachin Tendulkar also recalled his father’s invaluable advice
Apart from Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar also shared an old picture with his father Ramesh and said he always remembers his father’s advice of being a good person. “I shall always remember your invaluable advice to “Strive to be a good person first”. Thank you for everything,” tweeted the Little Master.
Yusuf Pathan, who was a part of the Indian side which lifted the inaugural T20 World Cup, also tweeted a picture of his son with his father. “Ayaan and Riyaan with Abba. I am lucky to have such a kind, caring, awesome father. This picture makes this Father’s day more special for me. Happy Father’s Day. #FathersDay,” tweeted Yusuf.
