A double thrill, says dad Kumble
BANGALORE: Spin ace Anil Kumble was
overwhelmed with joy as his wife Chetna delivered a baby boy on
Friday. The delighted leg-spinner described it as a ‘double thrill’,
his son being born a day after India’s historic Test win over
Pakistan.
The baby boy, weighing 4.2 kg, was delivered through a Caesarian
section at a private clinic here. Kumble, who played a major role
with an eight-wicket match haul in Multan, flew in from Pakistan to
share the moment of joy with his wife.
Officials at Dr Kamini Rao’s clinic conception centre, where Chetna
was operated on, said both mother and the child were doing fine. “I
am very happy and elated,” Kumble said. “It’s a double thrill after
the Multan victory yesterday.”
Kumble said he was looking forward to spending some time with the
family after the Test series. Asked if he would make his son a
cricketer, Kumble said it was too early to decide.
Kumble, who took his Test tally to 390 to be ninth in the all-time
wicket-takers’ list, confided to close friends that at times like
these, he missed his father who had passed away recently.
