Gurgaon: India ODI skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and wife Sakshi have named their baby daughter Ziba, according to television reports. Ziba, in Persian means beauty. According to close sources, Dhoni revealed the news to his teammates at a party organised by the team management to celebrate the birth of their child.

Dhoni became a proud father when Sakshi gave birth on Friday at a private hospital in Gurgaon. The baby was due in March and was born almost a month earlier. The 33-year old cricketer tied the knot with his childhood friend Sakshi on July 4, 2010.

‘Captain Cool’ and Team India are currently in Australian gearing up for cricket’s biggest event – ICC World Cup. However, after facing the Aussies in their first warm-up match on Sunday, India still couldn’t change their fate, and the losing streak continues.

The Men in Blue are still yet to win a match Down Under. Dhoni and company will face arch-nemesis Pakistan in their first World Cup match on February 15.
