Harbhajan Singh is known for foxing the best batsmen with his Doosra, but this time it’s the turn of Geeta Basra to deceive him with a pehla (first) - pehla in terms of welcoming their first baby daughter and she was named Hinaya Heer Plaha. Harbhajan had previously flown to London to be with his pregnant wife in July.

Harbhajan and Geeta Basra married in Harbhajan’s ancestral home on the 29^th October 2015. The duo had been dating for five years before they decided to take their relationship a step forward.

Apart from his marriage stint, Bhajji’s cricketing stint hasn’t leapfrogged with chances of a comeback looking bleak. Harbhajan has been a brilliant servant for India, picking up 400+ wickets Tests and 250+ wickets in ODIs, which can’t be disregarded by any stretch of the imagination.

HINAYA HEER PLAHA would like to thank you all for your lovely wishes in welcoming her into this world .. #ourlife #ourworld @harbhajan_singh
