Indian Cricketer Irfan Pathan and his wife Safa Baig have been blessed with a baby boy on December 19 and since then, social media networks have been flooded with messages of congratulations for him. A fan posted congratulating tweet to the cricketer on becoming a father but at the same time, also cautioned him and made a taunting remark too not to name his son Daud (Dawood) and Yakub.

Irfan has always been a cool-headed person and this time also he handled this tweet in a very cool manner. On the occasion of Christmas, he decided to reveal his son’s name and said the name is very close to his heart and that of his family.

Have a look at his tweet:

Irfan posted a pic on Twitter and revealed the name of his son “Imran”, “This name is close to our hearts n family….The name is IMRAN:) #Imrankhanpathan @iamyusufpathan”

For the trolls received, Irfan replied that whatever name is chosen for the baby, one thing is for sure that the son will serve the nation like his father and his uncle (Yusuf).

naam chahe jo bhi rakhenge lekin Ek baat Pakki hai wo bhi papa or bade papa ki tarah is mulk ka naam Roshan hi karega #withlove

Just recently, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were trolled a lot for naming their baby boy Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi. Taimur was a very cruel king, known for his atrocities and thus, Twitter trolled and slammed the couple.
