Ashwin has been given rest from the ongoing Zimbabwe tour where India are playing with their second-string squad. He will be back in action for the forthcoming tour of Sri Lanka soon after spending some quality time with his wife and daughter.
Baby girls seem to be lucky for our current crop of Indian cricketers. Gautam Gambhir, MS Dhoni and now R Ashwin are all proud dads of beautiful baby girls.
