Mahendra Singh Dhoni became a proud father to a baby girl on Friday and said a day later that both mother and daughter were in good health. In Australia for the World Cup which begins February 14, the Indian cricket captain however said he has no plans of flying back as he is all set to lead the defending champions in the coveted tournament.

Wife Sakshi gave birth to a girl at a Gurgaon hospital on Friday evening even as Dhoni himself was busy preparing for the World Cup in Australia. Although proud to become a father for the first time, 33-year-old Dhoni said country and his team continue to be his main priority, at least for now. "Yes, I have been blessed with a baby daughter," he told reporters on Saturday. "Both mom and child are fine." When asked if he was returning home for a few days, Dhoni said there were no such plans. "No, I am on national duty. World Cup is important for me and I rather be here."
While Dhoni may be busy preparing for the World Cup, the family back home is elated with the good news. The baby weighs 3.7 kgs according to sources and Sakshi - who is known to travel on tours with her husband - is doing well after the delivery which happened through c-section.
