Bhaichung becomes father of twins

The hospital cources said both the children and mother are fine. "The patient (Madhuri) was taken to the operation theatre around 6 am. The girl was born first, around 7.15 am while the boy was born minutes later. They are in healthy condition and doing fine," said a hospital source.

Bhaichung, who is currently recovering from a hamstring injury, was seemingly excited with the news.

The ace Indian striker married Madhuri Tipnis on December 27, 2004 in his native village of Tinkitam in South Sikkim.
