[In Pictures] “I’m grateful to walk through life knowing you’re besides me” - Rohit Sharma’s cute birthday post for wife
India's Test and ODI captain, Rohit Sharma, took to social media to share a heartwarming post for his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, who turned 37 on Saturday, December 21. The couple first met in 2008 and married on December 13, 2015.
They welcomed their first child, daughter Samaira, on December 30, 2018. Earlier this year, on November 15, they were blessed with a second child, son Ahaan.
To celebrate Ritika's birthday on Saturday, Rohit shared some pictures along with a heartfelt message on Instagram. He captioned the post:
“Many many happy returns of the day Rits. I’m grateful to walk through life knowing you’re besides me. Have a good one.”
The 37-year-old was recently seen in the third match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which was heavily disrupted by rain and ultimately ended in a draw. Rohit had the opportunity to bat once but struggled with his form, scoring just 10 runs.
The Mumbai cricketer will now look to bounce back in the Boxing Day Test, scheduled to begin on Thursday, December 26, in Melbourne.
“You've been a match-winner since match 1” - Rohit Sharma's message on R. Ashwin’s retirement
After the conclusion of the third Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket. The Tamil Nadu cricketer made the official announcement alongside skipper Rohit Sharma during the post-match conference.
Rohit took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message in honor of Ashwin’s remarkable career. He wrote:
“We've played together for so many years and created so many memories which I'll cherish forever. You've been a match-winner since match 1 & left a lasting impression on all the young bowlers coming through the ranks. I'm sure we'll have a lot of upcoming young people with the classic Ashwin action.”
“You are a true OG & legend of Indian Cricket & World Cricket and this team will miss having you. Wishing the best to you & your lovely family for what lies ahead,” Rohit added.
Ashwin enjoyed a stellar career with the ball, ending as India's second-highest wicket-taker across all formats, with 765 wickets from 287 matches, trailing only Anil Kumble, who took 953 wickets.
