Back on October 7, 2017, Roy tied the knots with his then long-term girlfriend Elle. Back in 2019, the couple gave birth to their first girl child and named her Everly. In the same year, his daughter had to be admitted to the hospital after she fell ill. Roy was scheduled to lock horns with Pakistan in an ODI and on the night before, he got only a couple of hours’ rest due to spending time in the hospital.

Roy went on to score his eighth ODI ton, amassing 114 runs and guided the Three Lions to their fourth highest successful ODI run-chase in Nottingham. Roy’s daughter, who was only seven weeks old, was out of danger, but Roy returned to the hospital to be with her.

“I had a bit of a rough morning, so this one is a special one for me and my family. It was my little one. We had to take her to hospital at 1.30 in the morning,” Roy was quoted as saying.

“I stayed there until 8.30 and came back for a couple of hours sleep. I got to the ground just before warm-up and cracked on. It was a very emotional hundred,” he added.
