Natasa Stankovic gave birth to their son on July 30. "We are blessed with our baby boy," Hardik Pandya had captioned a picture he shared on Instagram.
The couple had announced their engagement in January this year.
The all-rounder, who has missed a fair chunk of cricket since the 2019 World Cup due to injuries, has been working hard to gear up for the IPL, which will see India's cricket stars in action for the first time since the tour of New Zealand in February.
The cash-rich league is set to begin on September 19, with defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener.
