This (marriage and fatherhood) is happening to me for the first time. Now, it's all about family. Whatever I've achieved so far in life and in the future is for them. My family is my world." He had further added, "I haven't played (international) cricket in the last 8-9 months, but I can still get back to it. I can't be there for my daughter when she is growing up. That won't come back. My daughter is growing up and I want to live every moment of it." (You May Also Like: Sara Ali Khan Twinning With Her Mom, Amrita Singh In Matching Masks Is The New Lockdown Fashion)

Whether you play 100 Tests, win the World Cup, get all the medals in the world. Nothing is bigger than this feeling. Your kids are your biggest medals. I am realising this now after becoming a father. Earlier, my friends used to say all this. Now I endorse it, 200 per cent. I am really proud to be a dad. I just want to thank the almighty for giving me this lovely diamond. My respect for females has increased a thousand times after having a daughter. We are what we are because of them."
