Twenty-six-year-old all-rounder Hardik Pandya took to the microblogg­ing site, Twitter, to announce the birth of his son. “We are blessed with our baby boy (sic.),” Hardik wrote alongside an image of the new-born baby, whose face he hid using a gloveless hand.

In June this year, the couple had taken to Instagram and dropped a huge surprise for their fans as they revealed that they were expecting an addition to their family. But fans apparently remembered that Hardik had announced his engagement with the Serbian actress Natasha on the occasion of New Year. Some of the comments his post received were tonguein-cheek but funny.

“Congrats for your fastest inings ever (sic.),” read a fan’s comment.

“Koi Kuch bi bakwas kary Pandu ne sixer mar diya (Let people say whatever rubbish they please, Pandya has hit a sixer,” another fan wrote.

Many excited fans who wished Hardik on the news, also wished he’d help India win more trophies. But female fans seemed kinder in their wishes for the all-rounder. We also hear that Hardik Pandya’s married sister, Anamika Dave, who moved from Ahmedabad to Baroda, will see the newly born baby boy on Saturday. In midst of all the celebratio­ns, Anamika claims that the right to naming the brother’s child is hers, the sister’s. “I have not yet decided the name. I will discuss with the child’s parents when coming to that decision.” she said, talking to us over the telephone from Baroda. Natasha and the baby are expected to get back home early next week.
