India captain Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh welcomed their second child, a baby boy, on November 15, 2024. Rohit chose to skip the opening Test against Australia in Perth to be with his family during this special time. The match, led by Jasprit Bumrah in Rohit’s absence, resulted in a commanding 295-run victory for India.Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, announces their son’s name.
Ritika recently revealed their son’s name, “Ahaan,” via an Instagram post featuring a Christmas-themed family cutout. The cutout included nicknames for the family members—”Ro” for Rohit, “Rits” for Ritika, “Sammy” for their daughter Samaira, and “Ahaan” for their newborn son. Earlier, Rohit had subtly hinted at the birth of their second child through a social media post referencing Friends, captioned, “The FAMILY, the one where we are four,” along with the date of birth.
Rohit rejoined the team for a pink-ball warm-up match against Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra. The two-day game was reduced to one due to rain, and Rohit batted at number four, scoring just three runs. However, he is set to return to his usual opening role for the crucial day-night Test in Adelaide, starting December 6.Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, announces their son’s name.
This Border-Gavaskar series is pivotal for India’s quest to secure a spot in the ICC World Test Championship final. Rohit, too, will aim to deliver a strong performance, especially after recent underwhelming form. In his seven Test matches in Australia, he has scored 408 runs at an average of 31.38, with three half-centuries. However, his recent home and away performances have raised concerns, with low scores dominating his last few innings.Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, announces their son’s name.
In 2023, Rohit accumulated 588 runs in 11 Tests at an average of 29.40, including two centuries. In the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023-25, he has scored 833 runs in 14 Tests, averaging 33.32, with three centuries and four fifties. As the series progresses, the Indian skipper will look to turn his form around and play a key role in the team’s success.
