The 37-year-old’s first child was born in the year 2020, and as he posted the picture on Instagram to share the news, congratulatory messages flooded in for the veteran India batter on the social media platform.

Chennai Super Kings on the brink of playoff qualification

Talking about his side’s performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Chennai Super Kings have been doing quite well for themselves. Currently, they find themselves in second place in the standings with 15 points from 13 matches.

Having won seven matches, lost five, and one deemed no result, the four-time champions are on the brink of qualifying for the knockout stages of the tournament. 

With just one game left in the group stage for Chennai, the MS Dhoni-led side would look to finish the proceedings on a winning note and make their way to the playoffs. They take on the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals next in the 67th game of the tournament on Saturday, May 20 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 

It is to be noted that Delhi became the first side to be eliminated from the competition after their recent loss to Punjab Kings on May 13. However, this could prove dangerous for Chennai, as Delhi would come into the game with nothing to lose.

The last time both sides faced each other, it resulted in a win for the four-time champions, and the side would hope that the same could be the case this time around as well.
