The Baroda lad took to Twitter to announce that he and his wife Safa Baig had become proud parents to a baby boy.
The India all-rounder had got married to the Jeddah-based 21-year-old in Mecca in February 2016. They had apparently met 2 years ago.
He tweeted, "Is ehsas ko Bayaan karna Mushkil haiâ¦is me Ek behtareen si Kashish hay, blessed with a baby boy (sic)."
Unfortunately for Irfan, his baby was born a few hours after 'Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi' took over social media. With Twitterati in overdrive mode about Taimur's name, there was some spill over effect on Irfan's profile as well.
