Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli took to Twitter to post a special video message on the occasion of the International Women’s Day on Thursday. While extending his wishes to women from around the world, Kohli lauded the contributions of women in the society and dubbed them superior to men. He also tagged his wife and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma in the tweet.

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, who is known for his witty posts on the micro blogging site, was not far behind in expressing his admiration for the fair sex either. Sehwag posted photographs of some inspirational women to highlight how women are scaling new highs despite facing many odds.

“Once she worked as a child labourer and used to stitch footballs to help her parents, now 19-year-old Zainab has transformed herself into an activist committed to the cause of children’s education. Every day is #WomensDay !” Sehwag tweeted.

Former cricketer turned commentator Mohammad Kaif, on the other hand, chose a unique way to celebrate women’s day on social media.

Keeping himself away from the screen, he instead shared a video featuring his wife Pooja speaking on the importance of women’s role and contributions in the society.

Cricketers Suresh Raina and Umesh Yadav also paid tributes to women on this occasion, along with one badminton ace Saina Nehwal, one of the greatest woman sportsperson India has ever produced.
