“This morning Radhika and I welcomed our baby boy into the world. Both Radhika and baby are doing well and are healthy. We would like to thank you for all your wishes and blessings,” Rahane wrote on Twitter.

Rahane last played a Test match for India against South Africa in January and after that suffered from a hamstring injury in the IPL 2022 and made his return to domestic cricket.

On the work front, Rahane led West Zone to the Duleep Trophy title. His team defeated South Zone in the finale by 294 runs. However, he was a failure with the bat as he managed just 8 and 15 in two innings.
