Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma and his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, have joyously welcomed their second child, a baby boy, on November 15, 2024, in Mumbai. This special moment comes six years after the birth of their first child, a daughter named Samaira, in 2018.
Rohit, who chose to stay back in India to support Ritika during her pregnancy and the birth, has not traveled with the Indian team for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. The first Test of the series is set to begin on November 22 in Perth, and while there is speculation about his availability for the match, his return to the team is seen as crucial for leadership and strengthening the batting lineup.
Despite his paternity leave, Rohit has remained committed to his training and is expected to rejoin the team for the second Test against Australia, scheduled to take place from December 6-10. Although the couple has not officially announced the birth, fans can likely expect a public message of joy from the new parents in the coming days.
