Indian cricketer and all-rounder of Chennai Super Kings, Shivam Dube and his wife, Anjum Khan, on January 3, 2025, became second-time parents to a baby girl. The couple are already parents to Ayaan who was born in 2022. Shivam took to his Instagram handle on December 4, 2025, to share the news with the world, of the arrival of his little bundle of joy. He also revealed the name of his baby girl in the cute post.
Shivam and Anjum are on cloud nine as they are blessed with a girl child who has brought joy to the Khan and Dube household. Shivam shared a cute animated picture of him, his wife, Anjum, who was holding the baby and his son, Ayaan. He revealed in his post that his daughter's name is Mehwish Shivam Dube. The post also had another picture on the wall background, of Shivam, Ayaan and Anjum. His post revealed that his family has now grown into 4. Shivam, who is a proud parent now, penned a post that read:
"It's a girl! Our hearts just grew bigger as we became a family of 4 Welcome Mehwish Shivam Dube."
Shivam and Anjum had a love marriage. The couple had married in Mumbai on July 16, 2021. However, their love story was filled with a lot of challenges as his family initially was not happy with his decision to marry Anjum. The cricketer had got married as per Hindu and Muslim customs. A report by Zee News revealed that the couple had met via common friends, and love found its way. They had dated for a year before tying the knot. Shivam's parents were vehemently against his decision to marry a Muslim girl.
Shivam is, as of now, playing for the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He has made 80 runs and has also taken one wicket in three matches. He has also been a part of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Mumbai's victorious squad back in 2024. He made 151 runs at an astonishing average of 75.50. It was in 2019 when Dube made his India debut during a T20I match against Bangladesh. When he was 31, he was a part of the T20 World Cup 2024 India squad, where he made 133 runs in eight innings and averaged 22.16.
Shivam played an important role during the final match against South Africa, scoring 27 runs off 16 balls and helping India reach 176. India won the T20 World Cup 2024 and ended the 13-year-long wait for the prestigious ICC trophy. However, the all-rounder cricketer would be missing Mumbai's last two league matches, which are of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, happening in Ahmedabad. This is because he is on a paternity break and will dedicate his entire time to spending time with his baby girl.
