"I cannot believe you’re ONE year old already. Agastya, you are my heart and my soul. You’ve shown me what love is more than I’ve ever known. You’ve been the biggest blessing in my life and I cannot imagine a single day without you. Love you and miss you with al my heart."

Meanwhile, on the work front, Hardik Pandya had an awful series against Sri Lanka and many former cricketers including Sunil Gavaskar have questioned his place in the Indian team.

The former skipper believes India have back-up options who, if groomed properly, could take up Hardik's place.

"Of course, there is back-up. You recently saw Deepak Chahar; he proved that he can be an all-rounder. You did not give Bhuvneshwar Kumar that opportunity. Two-three years ago, when India played in Sri Lanka, then he along with Dhoni, had won India a match. The scenario in that match was similar to the second ODI. They had lost 7-8 wickets and Bhuvneshwar and Dhoni had won that match for India," Gavaskar said on Sports Tak.

Hardik Pandya looked completely out of form as he managed only 29 runs from four outings, including a T20I game and managed to pick up only three wickets. He will have one last shot during the 2nd half of IPL 2021 to seal a berth in the ICC T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in the UAE and Oman.
