Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh have had a newborn boy. On Friday night, followers posted many social media updates revealing the news. However, sources say the news is now official.
Rohit and Ritika already have a daughter, Samaira, who will turn six on December 30. Though there is no confirmation on the actual time of birth, the couple is expected to make an announcement and share the news with their followers shortly.
Rohit had not travelled with the Indian team to Perth for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia. It led to a lot of speculation about whether he would be able to lead in the initial Tests.
The first Test of the 2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series versus Australia will be held in Perth on November 22.
The highly awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia will begin in Perth on November 22. During the pre-departure news conference, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir revealed that there is still no formal confirmation of Rohit’s absence.
“At the present, there is no confirmation. Hopefully he’ll be available. “We’ll let you know,” Gambhir informed the media.
The head coach also mentioned that if Rohit misses the first match, vice-captain and top bowler Jasprit Bumrah will take the captain’s role.
Not just captaincy, Rohit’s absence will also open a gate for a new opener in the team. Regarding that role, Gambhir said, “If Rohit is not available, we have got (Abhimanyu) Easwaran and KL (Rahul) in Australia. We will take a call.”
