Video: Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan and Bollywood actress Sagarika welcome baby boy
The Chak De India star shared the joyous news in a joint Instagram post with her husband Zaheer on Wednesday.
The couple have named their son Fatehsinh Khan, as revealed in the caption. They also shared adorable black-and-white photos of their newborn, cradled lovingly in their arms.
In the first picture, Zaheer is seen holding the baby as Sagarika leans on his shoulder in a warm embrace. The second photo captures the couple holding their son's tiny hand while he sleeps peacefully.
Precious little baby boy
The post was captioned: 'With love, gratitude and divine blessings we welcome our precious little baby boy, Fatehsinh Khan.'
Sagarika and Zaheer tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2017. The couple met through a mutual friend and soon fell in love.
Sagarika is known for her roles in Chak De India, Fox and Irada.
One of its kind
Her husband, Zaheer Khan, is a former Indian pacer and currently mentors the Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing 2025 Indian Premier League.
Zaheer made his international debut during the ICC Knockout Trophy in 2000, immediately making headlines when he yorked Steve Waugh with sheer pace.
At a time when India had few genuine fast bowlers, Zaheer stood out for his ability to swing the ball both ways, deliver searing yorkers at the death, and maintain pace with consistency.
In an illustrious career, he claimed 311 Test wickets in 92 matches and a total of 610 wickets in 309 international appearances for the Men in Blue.

England openers off to a flier after India collapse again
England enjoyed a dream morning on day two of the final Test at The Oval on Friday as they grabbed the last four Indian wickets for 20 runs then raced to 109-1 in reply at lunch in a match the tourists need to win to square the series. Resuming at 204-6 with two middle-order batsmen well set, India were skittled for 224 in less than half an hour as pace bowler Gus Atkinson took five wickets on his return to action having not played a Test since May. It was another example of what has undermined India all series, only on this occasion the late collapse came without the cushion of a big total established by their top-line batters and has left their hopes of levelling the series where they trail 2-1 looking extremely slim. Josh Tongue got things moving in the third over, following a series of wild deliveries by trapping Karun Nair lbw for 57. Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope walk off at lunch. Reuters Washington Sundar, who showed such patience in his rearguard century to help save the fourth Test, eschewed that approach and tamely pulled straight to Jamie Overton at midwicket to depart for 26 as the two remaining recognised batsmen went after adding a total of 11 runs off the bat between them. Atkinson then bowled Mohammed Siraj and had Prasidh Krishna caught behind, both for ducks, to finish with 5-33 from 21.4 overs in his first appearance of the series. BBC statistician Andy Zaltzman illustrated the feeble contribution with the bat by India's main seamers by reporting that Anshul Kamboj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and Krishna have yet to make a double-figure score at any point and have totalled 48 runs in nine innings. Gus Atkinson, third from right, celebrates with teammates after the dismissal of Mohammed Siraj. AP England set about their reply in their usual, swashbuckling fashion, exemplified by an extraordinary "reverse hook" for six by Ben Duckett off Deep and another six from a scoop off Siraj. They reached the 50 partnership in seven overs - the fastest England have ever managed in a test - but fell just short of the 100 as Duckett was caught behind reversing for 43, and was given a farewell "cuddle" by Deep as he walked off. Crawley went off for his lunch unbeaten on 52, with Ollie Pope not out 12. Earlier the ECB said that all-rounder Chris Woakes will miss the remainder of the match after suffering a shoulder injury while fielding late on Thursday. Amanda Thorpe, wife of former England cricketer Graham Thorpe and their daughter Emma Thorpe ring the bell ahead of the day's play on 'A Day for Thorpey' in support of Mind charity. Reuters Earlier, England's cricketers donned white headbands in memory of Graham Thorpe, joining fans in honouring the 100-test veteran. Thorpe, one of the most respected batters of his generation and England's assistant coach as recently as 2021, took his own life last August. Friday would have been Thorpe's 56th birthday and, with the match taking place at his former home ground, Surrey said it was "A day for Thorpey." Reuters / AP

Former India player Jamil appointed national football team head coach

In a statement issued by the AIFF, the governing body confirmed that Dronacharya Awardee coaches Bimal Ghosh and Armando Colaco, and Dhyan Chand Awardee Shabbir Ali, alongside Technical Committee chairperson IM Vijayan were heavily in favour of appointing an Indian coach at the helm for the first time in 13 years.
