Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has become a father for the first time as his wife gave birth to their baby girl earlier today at a private hospital in New Delhi.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who is currently away from his family, received the news through a phone call and is reportedly expected to reach his residence in Meerut by Thursday. Rakesh Goyal, the Meerut District Cricket Association (MDCA) treasurer, announced the news and also informed that the baby was born at around 9 am earlier this morning and that both the mother and the daughter are healthy.

Notably, the couple welcomed their newborn daughter a day after their fourth wedding anniversary as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Nupur Nagar tied the knot on November 23, 2017 in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut.
