Rohit Sharma, wife Ritika Sajdeh welcome second child | Cricket News
Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh were blessed with a ba boy on Friday. The couple who got married in 2015 have a daughter named Samaira who was born in 2018.
“Family, the one where we are FOUR,” read a photo shared Rohit on his Instagram account.
Earlier, it was reported that the India skipper Rohit was expected to miss the first Test of the India-Australia Border Gavaskar Test series, starting November 22, for personal reasons. India take on the Pat Cummins-led side in the first of the five Tests at the Optus stadium in Perth.
After the 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand at home in the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit Sharma was asked about reports floating ahead of this series about him missing the first Test match in Australia because of personal reasons at the press conference. “I am not too sure about Perth. But fingers crossed,” he responded about the November 22-27 fixture.
Should Rohit Sharma miss out, Indian bowling ace Jasprit Bumrah is likely to lead the side. At an Express Adda earlier this year, Bumrah had joked when asked about his favourite captain, “My favourite captain is me because I have captained in a few games. Obviously there are great captains, but I will take my name. I am my favourite captain.’
India have won the last two times touring Down Under, and are up against a resurgent Aussie side in the five match series.
The series is expected to be a tough one for India, and not merely because Australians are ruthless competitors. Things become interesting because the second Test at Adelaide Oval from December 6-10 is the Pink-ball Test, a challenge on its own.
