Several Indian sports stars took to social media on Sunday to wish and thank their dads on Father’s Day. Cricket great Sachin Tendulkar and India cricket captain Virat Kohli were among the many who recalled fond memories on the occasion.

Sachin Tendulkar shared a heartwarming video with a lovely message, while Kohli said that being a dad is the 'greatest joy and blessing' he has received in his life. Sakshi Malik, Jwala Gutta, Saina Nehwal shared photos along with their fathers and expressed their love and admiration for them.

Here are a few messages:

Sachin Tendulkar: “We have some things that act as time machines for us. A song, a smell, a sound, a flavour. For me, it’s something from my father’s childhood that always takes me on a trip down memory lane. On #FathersDay I want to share that special place [father’s cradle turned into a swing] with you all. Miss you always, Baba.#fathersday #Father #memories.”
