Sunil Chhetri reveals the name of his newborn son
This is the first time Sunil has shared an update about the newest member of his small family. The Bengaluru FC striker also revealed the name of his son, stating that they are going to call him 'Dhruv.'
On August 30th, we were blessed with our guiding star. This is the single-most important part of everything we’ll ever narrate.
But this wasn’t easy. Every time we thought we were there, turned out we still had to keep going. And then a little more. We did well to never run out of faith in our hearts. It was the unshakeable kind.
Eventually, our desire to be parents beat every adversary, every hurdle. We know a thing or two about winning.
We’re here now, the three of us.
We’ve received so much love through all your sweet, kind and caring messages. There were gestures that we will never forget. And we thank all of you from the depths our hearts.
We’ve taken our time with this. But the day we named him seemed like a good one to make introductions. World, this is our son, DHRUV.

Sunil Chhetri, regarded as one of India's greatest football players, has made a significant mark in the sport. Despite being 39 years old, he showcased exceptional leadership by guiding India to three consecutive victories this year, securing the Tri-Nation Series, the Hero Intercontinental Cup, and the SAFF Championship Cup.
However, it's worth noting that Chhetri is not part of the Indian team's lineup for the ongoing King's Cup in Thailand. He missed out on the tournament due the birth of his first child.
