In a heartwarming moment for Indian cricket fans and Bollywood buffs alike, former Team India fast bowler Zaheer Khan and his wife, actress Sagarika Ghatge, have welcomed their first child—a baby boy named Fatehsingh Khan. The couple, who have been together since their wedding in November 2017, shared the emotional news via a joint Instagram post that has since gone viral across social media platforms.
“With Your Love and Blessings, Meet Fatehsingh Khan”
The duo posted two grayscale pictures that perfectly captured their joy. In the first, Zaheer is seen gently holding his newborn in his arms, while Sagarika lovingly rests her hand on her husband’s shoulder. The second image features a close-up of Zaheer holding his baby’s tiny hand, symbolizing the beautiful beginning of their parenthood journey.
The caption read:
“With your love, gratitude and the blessings of the Almighty, we welcome our son Fatehsingh Khan into this world.”

The internet exploded with congratulatory messages from friends, fans, and celebrities. Actor Angad Bedi simply commented, “Waheguru.”
Veteran cricketer Harbhajan Singh extended his blessings, saying, “Congratulations to both of you. Waheguru meher kare.”
Filmmaker Pragya Kapoor dropped a heartfelt “Congratulations,” while Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, called it, “The best news.”
A Power Couple of Cricket and Cinema
Zaheer Khan, 46, known for being one of India’s most lethal left-arm fast bowlers, has successfully transitioned from the pitch to a leadership role. He currently serves as the mentor of IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants. His strategic insights have helped shape the team’s strong performance in IPL 2025, with Lucknow winning four of their seven matches so far. They stand at fifth position on the points table with eight points and a net run rate of +0.086.
Sagarika Ghatge, 39, rose to fame with her role in the iconic Bollywood sports drama “Chak De! India”. She has since worked in multiple films and web series, becoming a known face in the entertainment industry.
