World Cup is important, everything else can wait: Dhoni
India captain MS Dhoni has decided not to fly
back home and instead spearhead India's World
Cup preparations ahead of their campaign
staring February 15. Dhoni was blessed with a
baby girl on Friday. His wife, Sakshi Dhoni gave
birth to their first child at a city hospital around
2 pm.
Dhoni, while addressing the media during a
press conference in Adelaide, asserted that the
World Cup is his prime priority and that he will
not be taking the flight back home. "I am on
national duty. The World Cup is important.
Everything else can wait," Dhoni said.
India's first World Cup warm-up match takes
place against Australia on Sunday before they
play their first league match against Pakistan on
February 15. Dhoni, who was informed the news
Friday night, hadn't reacted to it until now and
it was unknown whether he would dash to India
and be back on time for the opener.
TOI reported that Sakshi was brought to the
hospital in the morning after she complained of
labour pain. She was soon shifted to the labour
room. Due to certain complications, however,
she was eventually taken to the operation
theatre where the baby was born. Sakshi's
mother and mother-in-law were both present in
the hospital at the time of the birth.
"The baby weighs about two kilogram and is
healthy. The mother is also fine," said a family
friend. The family, however, refused to give
details. Dhoni, who is in Australia with the
Indian team, was given the good news over the
phone .
