His warm and humble gesture won widespread appreciation online, with many praising his cheerful and grounded personality.
Photos shared from the hospital also captured the couple’s happiness as they embraced parenthood. Just a day earlier, the cricketer had expressed his excitement about becoming a father, and since then, social media has been flooded with congratulatory messages and blessings from fans, teammates, and well-wishers across the cricketing world.
