Former Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan and his wife Sagarika Ghatge recently welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Fatehsinh Khan. Ahead of his IPL team Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Zaheer caught up with Virat Kohli.
The LSG mentor showed the RCB player pictures of his newborn son. In a video shared by LSG on Instagram, Zaheer can be seen having a chat with Virat.
“Yeh dekh. (Check this). Mr Fatehsinh," said Zaheer as he showed Virat pictures of his son. The former Indian cricket team captain instantly replied, “How's it going? Kispe gaya hai? (Who does he resemble?)"
Zaheer Khan explained that the baby is a mix of both him and Sagarika Ghatge, as his features resemble both parents. Giving it a deep thought, Virat adds, “His eyes are just like you!” The comment makes Zaheer smile as the duo continues to talk.
On May 12, Virat Kohli shared a long note on Instagram to announce his retirement from test cricket.
The cricketer wrote, "It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It's tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life. There's something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever."
"As I step away from this format, it's not easy - but it feels right. I've given it everything I had, and it's given me back so much more than I could've hoped for. I'm walking away with a heart full of gratitude - for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I'll always look back at my Test career with a smile. #269, signing off," Virat added.
Coming back to Zaheer Khan, the cricketer married Sagarika Ghatge in 2017. The couple welcomed Fatehsinh Khan in April this year.
