"A new little hand for us to hold, his love is grand, precious as gold. A wonderful gift, so special and sweet," the picture tweeted by Harbhajan stated.
"Our hearts are full, our lives complete. We thank the almighty for blessing us with a healthy baby boy. Both Geeta and the baby are doing well. We are overwhelmed with joy and would like to extend out gratitude to all our well-wishers for their constant love and support."
Having gotten married in October of 2015, Harbhajan and wife Geeta became parents to a daughter, Hinaya Heer Plaha, in July of 2016.
Harbhajan posted the same image on Instagram, with one of the replies coming from India batsman Shikhar Dhawan, who wrote: "Pajhi bahut bahut mubarkaan. (Big congratulations, brother)"
The wonderful news comes roughly two months before the resumption of the IPL 2021 in the UAE. Harbhajan last played in April in the first-half of the IPL where he represented Kolkata Knight Riders in three matches but went wicketless. He gave the IPL 2020 a miss last year on personal grounds.
