Famous Mothers of Indian Cricket

We could not believe more in the saying ‘God made mothers because he could not be with us everywhere’. And just like us, the demigods of cricket could not agree more!

Mothers play a huge role in our lives and cricketers are not untouched by their love either. They have attained the heights of success but it has been the immense help and support of their mothers that they have reached that level. Many of the cricketers have been quite vocal about their love for their moms.

Here is a list of Indian Cricketers and their famous mothers.

MS Dhoni’s mother: Devki Devi

A very rare picture of MS Dhoni’s mother. Jharkhand has very few celebrities.

It is not at all surprising then that the day Mahendra Singh Dhoni returns to Ranchi, Jharkhand’s capital, it goes quite dizzy with excitement. Dhoni is still very much Ranchi-based. A total Ranchi boy. From a Ticket Collector to A Trophy collector, yes his Mother made this possible with her efforts too with Mahi’s labour.

Sachin Tendulkar’s mother : Smt. Rajni Tendulkar

 

Sachin Tendulkar said he handed the first copy of his autobiography Playing It My Way to his mother. “I gave the first copy of my book to my mother; the look of pride on her face was a priceless moment”, Tendulkar revealed during the book launch.

Virender Sehwag and his family live in Najafgarh. His father tried to end his career when he broke a tooth as a child in 1990, but Sehwag evaded the ban with the help of his mother.

Virat Kohli’s mother: Saroj Kohli

Virat Kohli helping his mother in cooking at home few years ago. Prem Kohli, Virat’s father, passed away in December 2006 after being bed-ridden for a month due to brain stroke. Virat was completely devastated at that time, but it was the Indian batsman’s mother who taught him how to remain mentally strong. She even said in an interview later,”Virat changed after his dad’s death.”

Harbhajan Singh’s mother: Avtar Kaur

Harbhajan always talks about his mother and for his success as a cricketer he believes, Avtar Kaur holds a great credit along with his mother. When his whole family was against his wish to become a cricketer, it was his mother who stood by him.

Ravindra Jadeja: Lata Jadeja

Jadeja’s mother passed away in an accident in 2005. In a recent interview, the Indian all-rounder while speaking about his late mother literally cried in front of the camera. Jadeja said she was like a friend than a mother to him and his friend, philosopher and guide during his very early cricket career.

Rahul Dravid’s mother: Pushpa Dravid

Pushpa Dravid holds a special place in Rahul Dravid’s glittering career. Recently she shared some of her feelings about her famous son. The proud mother said, “I never watched Rahul’s matches. They made me nervous. But if you ask me what moment in his career gave me the greatest amount of pride, I think it has to be his speech at the Sir Donald Bradman Oration. Until a day before the speech, we had no clue he was delivering a speech in Australia. He had called a day before the speech and told Vijeeta (his wife) that it would be telecast at such and such time in India.”

Sourav Ganguly’s mother: Nirupa Ganguly

Initially, Nirupa Ganguly was not at all supportive of Sourav’s cricketing aspirations as she believed her son’s academic career would have been disrupted due to Sourav Ganguly’s early cricket career. But the former Indian captain’s mother later realized what it was actually and since then was very much supportive to Sourav.
