It’s Rohit Sharma’s 9th wedding anniversary with wife Ritika Sajdeh whom he wished on social media on December 13th. She took to the photo-sharing app, Instagram and wrote a heartfelt message- ” Happy 9 baby Best dad, best husband, best friend and the best I could ever wish for” and was indeed reflective of her profound love and appreciation in the post. This easily prompted fans to pen love messages to the doting couple.
Rohit and Ritika got married on December 1, 2015. The couple first met in 2008. They have been through many personal and professional milestones together. Ritika has been a regular spectator at Rohit’s matches and has been present throughout the world with him, including during his IPL duties. The couple has two children, daughter Samaira and newborn son Ahaan, who was born last month.
While the Sharma family were celebrating their special day, Rohit’s focus remained on his performance and Team India’s ongoing campaign. India is looking to bounce back with determination after a heavy ten-wicket defeat to Australia in the Adelaide Test. They had taken a 295-run victory in Perth but failed to repeat the show in Adelaide, where Australia maintained their perfect pink-ball record. His form has also been a matter of concern since he could manage only two single-figure scores in the pink-ball Test and just one half-century in the New Zealand series.
Rohit, who has been batting at number six, hasn’t been able to find much success in this position. As the series moves forward, there is speculation that the veteran opener might return to his natural role at the top of the order in Brisbane, where he has had more success in the past.
Amidst all the cricketing challenges, Ritika’s love and support have been unwavering, as shown by her heartfelt anniversary post. As the Sharma family celebrates this personal milestone, Team India’s focus will remain on bouncing back from the setbacks and regaining their momentum.
