Murali Vijay and wife Nikita welcomed their third child into the world on October 3. Vijay took to Twitter and shared his happiness with the world. He posted a photo of his son holding the newborn baby in his arms and the photo was captioned with a message where he called his children ‘rockstars’. The caption read, “Two Rockstars!! One introducing the other to the world. Feeling Blessed,” Vijay has a son and daughter with Nikita. The Test opener married her in 2012.
Vijay has been out of the Indian side since the India vs Sri Lanka Test series which India won by 3-0. The 33-year-old’s injury gave way for opener Shikhar Dhawan in the team who scored a galore of runs in the series. Vijay is currently recovering from the injury. His comeback to the side is tough given the competition for the spot including Ajinkya Rahane, KL Rahul, Abhinav Mukund and Shikhar Dhawan.
Vijay might eye his return with performances in Ranji Trophy 2017-18 for Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu are yet to announce their team lineup for this season. It will be a good platform for Vijay to prove his worth and strengthen his claim for the opening slot in the national team.
