India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, on Saturday, became proud father of a baby girl. Ajinkya Rahane was busy playing in the ongoing first Test between India and South Africa in Visakhapatnam when he received the good news as his wife Radhika gave birth to the baby girl.

Ajinkya Rahane married his childhood friend Radhika in 2014. The two had met first in school and remained friends for quite some time before their parents met and arranged their marriage. Ajinkya Rahane is yet to respond to the news on social media. However, his former India teammate Harbhajan Singh could not wait.

The veteran spinner, who is also a father to a girl, took to Twitter to congratulate the new father, writing:

“Congratulations new daddy in town @ajinkyarahane88 hope Mum and lil princess are doing well.. fun part of life starts now ajju. #fatherhood,” Harbhajan wrote.

Unlike Ajinkya Rahane, Radhika did not hesitate in revealing the good news to the fans. Last week, she had taken to Instagram to post a photo of herself with a baby bump with an emotional message.

Have more of milk and milk products. Don’t have that much coffee. And are you taking the supplements you need? Being pregnant means being ready for extra care and extra attention from just about everyone. And the flood of information can only make things confusing. I have found it helpful to stick to the basics and keep track of my daily nutrient intake. Among all nutrients, I got to know how adequate iodine is essential for an expecting mother as well as the baby since first 1000 days of life are considered to be the critical period for Brain development for which Iodine is an essential nutrient.. Thankfully, Tata Salt with iodine is already a part of my diet. Thus, I am not #MissingI. @desh_ka_namak Requesting all mothers @momspresso to pledge their support in raising awareness for #MissingI
