<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haksh was born on December 19, and Axar shared his excitement with heartfelt words in the post. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">"He's still figuring out the off-side from the leg, but we couldn&rsquo;t wait to introduce him to all of you in blue. World, welcome Haksh Patel, India's smallest, yet biggest fan, and the most special piece of our hearts," Axar wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haksh is the first child of Axar and his wife, Meha, who tied the knot in January 2023.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a related development, India&rsquo;s captain, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/we-want-to-break-it-down-to-just-melbourne-now-rohit-sharma-23453059" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Rohit Sharma</strong></a>, addressed Axar&rsquo;s absence from the playing XI during a press conference ahead of the Boxing Day Test against Australia. Sharma explained that Axar was not considered for the final two Test matches of the series, partly due to the arrival of his baby.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Axar&rsquo;s absence, Mumbai off-spinner Tanush Kotian has been included in the squad for the remaining two Tests. Kotian&rsquo;s inclusion comes after the unexpected retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin, leaving a spot open for the young off-spinner. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The selection of Kotian highlights the depth and flexibility of India's spin bowling options as they continue their series against Australia.</span></p><p>
