There is no rest currently for new Team India Test skipper Rohit Sharma as he gets ready to host Sri Lanka in the three-match T20 series followed by two Tests next month. Team India and Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit has been away from wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samaira for a while now as he was in bio-bubbles in Ahmedabad and Kolkata for the ODI and T20 series against West Indies.
Rohit-led Team India defeated Kieron Pollard and Co. by 17 runs in the third and final T20I to complete the series whitewash of the West Indies on Sunday. Skipper Rohit achieved a unique captaincy record after India’s 3-0 series win over the West Indies. The 34-year-old is the first Indian skipper to complete 3 or more series whitewashes in the shortest format of the game.
Now, Rohit has moved to Lucknow for the start of the T20 series against Sri Lanka on Thursday (February 24). On Tuesday (February 22), T20 skipper Rohit posted photos of the first training session in Lucknow with the team on his Instagram account.

How Rohit Sharma met Ritika Sajdeh
Before they got hitched, they have been knowing each other for 6 years and the source says that Ritika is Yuvraj’s Rakhi sister. Rohit Sharma and Ritika met as professionals. Since Ritika is a Sports Manager and used to manage many cricketer’s schedules, Rohit was one amongst the list, where she was Rohit’s manager and used to handle his cricket engagements.
Initially, they used to meet for work and eventually the meet-ups became common when they turned into friends and gradually best friends. In no time their friendship turned into love and they decided to take a step ahead in the relationship.
Taking note of the post shared by Rohit Sharma wife Ritika poked fun at Rohit’s Instagram post
Rohit kept things short while captioning his post on the photo and video sharing platform. Poking fun at her better half and India’s captain, Ritika left a hilarious remark on Rohit’s latest Instagram post.
The fun banter between Rohit and his wife Ritika soon became the talk of the town and went viral.
India will be without the likes of Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli as both them have been rested. Deepak Chahar and Suryakumar Yadav are ruled out from the series as both of them are nursing their respective injuries and a replacement for both of them is unlikely to happen. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is making a comeback to the Indian side after two months. Jadeja missed India’s last two series against South Africa and the West Indies as he was undergoing rehabilitation for a knee injury which he had sustained during the home Test series against New Zealand last November.
