Veteran Indian pace bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar took to Instagram on Sunday (December 19) and shared the first picture of his newborn daughter with his wife, Nupur. The lovely couple were blessed with their first child on November 24 last month and nearly after a month, he showed the world the first glimpses of his baby girl as well.
Soon after he shared the picture, fans started commenting on this as well. While he hasn’t shared the name yet, Bhuvneshwar can be seen wearing traditional attire, holding the baby in his hands with his wife standing with him and posting it with two black-heart emojis as well. Meanwhile, many from the cricket fraternity also showered blessings on the newborn, including Suresh Raina, Karn Sharma and Ishwar Pandey.

Meanwhile, the star pace bowler has been going through a rough patch. He was last seen in the three-match T20I series against New Zealand, which India won 3-0 as well. Moreover, continuous injuries make things worse for him as well. Following the 2019 World Cup, the pacer hasn’t played regularly owing to his fitness issues.

On the other hand, Team India Test captain Virat Kohli recently addressed the media ahead of the South Africa tour on Wednesday and clarified his stances regarding all controversies that are going on in Indian cricket. Kohli was removed from ODI captaincy and Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the new captain as well, and he cleared his stance over his relationship with BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Rohit Sharma as well. And, Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma has opened up on this.

“I don’t want to speak much on the subject because it’s directly linked with Virat. But I feel that it could’ve been better if such strong words weren’t used from both sides. Team is doing good, I don’t think we need a needless controversy,” Sharma said on the Khelneeti podcast.
“It might be in the back of his mind, but once he steps on the ground, I don’t think it would impact him. Virat is not greedy for anything, he has a lot of self-belief and he knows he will give his 100 percent. It’s obviously a little disturbing for any player when such conflicts or controversy happens. But I’m hopeful that the board will be tackling this situation efficiently and it won’t be dragged further,” further added Rajkumar Sharma.
