Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin is known to give surprise deliveries to batsmen, now his wife Prithi Ashwin too followed husband`s footsteps. To everyone`s surprise, she waited five days before announcing the news of the birth of her baby girl to public.Prithi gave birth to a baby girl on December 21, a day after India registered their historic 4-0 Test series victory with England in Chennai. She chose not to share the news with public at that time.The reason for not revealing was that she didn`t want to steal her husband`s moment of glory.

They had married in 2011.For the last few days, the 30-year-old has been in headlines for the wrong reasons too. His fans are unhappy with the fact that he didn`t mention the name of India`s limited overs captain MS Dhoni`s name in "Thank-You" speech after receiving the ICC award.It might be a petty thing for the off-spinner but the fans looked upset and vented out their anger on social media.Against England, the Most Valuable Player and the go-to man for Virat Kohli, took 28 wickets in five matches with the average of 30.25.
