beetle Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Hindustan Times 1 day ago HT Correspondent The stream of disappointing news has continued for Mahendra Singh Dhoni as far as the India team is concerned. It was first the Test series defeat and on Friday, it was the failure to qualify for the tri-series final. Throw in his sudden retirement from Test cricket, and the wait for a piece of good news out of Australia is getting way too long for the Indian cricket fans. The friction between Dhoni and the press over his decision to retire and his name getting obliquely mentioned in connection with Justice Mudgal Committee’s IPL spot-fixing report too hasn’t been pleasant going into the World Cup. However, there is good news that awaits India’s ODI captain on the home front. Dhoni is going to be a father soon. His wife Sakshi is expecting and the due date is sometime in February. The chances are that the birth of the baby may coincide with India’s campaign at the World Cup. That is why the Indian skipper’s wife, who is otherwise prominent in the stands, has not travelled with him in the last 7-8 months. With the delivery date drawing close, it has made Dhoni both anxious and excited. Despite non-stop cricketing engagements from the time Dhoni arrived in Australia, he has been getting constant updates about his wife’s health. There is palpable excitement amongst the family members of Dhoni and Sakshi. It may be recalled that in an interview to commentator Mark Nicholas during India’s tour of England last year, when queried about his family plans, Dhoni had given a cheeky reply, ‘we are practicing’. Becoming a father could well be the good luck charm Dhoni needs, a happy occasion waiting to be celebrated in the India camp. http://www.msn.com/en-in/sports/cricket/dhonis-expecting-a-world-cup-baby/ar-AA8N8Nh Yay....hope the baby has mumma's looks and papa's luck!!!
BlueBee Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Hope the Baby develops into a gem of a cricketer unlike his Daddy

Precambrian Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 so he might travel back to India from the WC?
beetle Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 :icflove::icflove:Now you are a real aunty.
Sachin=GOD Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Congrats MSD :nice: Now plz retire from ODIs after losing in the WC.
Number Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Great. I hope he gets the time to travel back and be with his wife at the time even for just one day. Also, its such a perfect time to have kids for him. Career is almost at the end, has earned all the money and not very late too just 33-34.

Also, its such a perfect time to have kids for him. Career is almost at the end, has earned all the money and not very late too just 33-34. Might be the chief reason to end his test career for sure. Although I still think if India does reasonably well in WC , he will stay around for another 1 or 2 yrs. Heck he deserves it, given his scarcely believable contribution in the shorter format.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Congrats Dhoni and family, only those with kids of their own appreciate value of the day. lets not get petty about it.
beetle Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Dhoni ne yahan bhi aakhri samay ke liye latka diya......he likes it like this.:haha:
