Gurgaon: Just a week ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, India skipper MS Dhoni became a father after his wife Sakshi gave birth to a baby girl at a private hospital. The 33-year-old cricketer became a father for the first time after his daughter was born at Fortis Hospital in Gurgaon in the evening.
The baby weighs 3.7 kgs, according to the doctors. Dhoni is currently busy preparing for India’s title defence at the World Cup in Australia. Sakshi is generally seen travelling with his husband on tours but she didn’t travel with Dhoni during the Australia tour. Dhoni had tied the knot with childhood friend Sakshi Singh Rawat on July 4, 2010.
Dhoni is currently with the Indian team in Australia, with the 2015 World Cup mere days away. India play their first match against arch-rivals Pakistan at Adelaide. India have never yet lost to Pakistan in a World Cup match, having won all five encounters so far, in 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, and most recently in the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2011. This will be the sixth time India and Pakistan will face each other in World Cup.
