Adelaide: India’s one-day captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni missed the birth of his first child, a daughter born on Friday, but when asked whether he would rather have been in India in recent days, he told reporters here: “Not really. I have been blessed with a baby daughter. Mum and daughter both are good. But as of now I am on national duty so I think everything else can wait. The World Cup is a very important campaign.”
