The New Year started off with a bang for India batsman Cheteshwar Pujara. As the middle-order batsman took to Twitter to announce that he and his wife Puja Pabari are expecting a child soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re expecting our little bundle of joy this year. May the coming year be as blessed and happy for everyone as it\u2019ll be for us,\u201d Pujara wrote along with an animated picture of him and his wife.<\/p>\n

The year gone by had been an extremely successful one for Pujara given that he finished on the third spot of the ICC Test rankings behind Steve Smith and Virat Kohli. He has 973 points to his name.<\/p>\n
