Team India skipper Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh revealed the name of their new-born son through an Instagram story on December 1, Sunday. The 37-year-old’s wife uploaded an Instagram story as it consisted of four dolls, named after Rohit, Ritika, Sammy (Samaira) and Ahaan, thereby revealing their son’s name on social media.
Rohit missed the opening Test against Australia in Perth due to paternity leave and communicated to the BCCI that he wishes to spend more time with his son, who was born on November 15. The couple already have a daughter named Samaira, born on December 30th, 2018.

Rohit Sharma back as captain in the warm-up match for Team India against Prime Minister’s XI
Meanwhile, the classy opening batter is back at captain for the tourists in the ongoing two-day pink-ball warm-up match against the Prime Minister’s XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. Nevertheless, the visitors hardly felt Rohit’s absence as Jasprit Bumrah did an outstanding job as captain, while KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal did a sensational job as top-order batters.
After being bowled out for 150 on day one in Perth, Bumrah roared with the ball, tearing through Australia’s top-order to leave them at 67-7 at Stumps. With the bowlers helping India gain a 46-run lead, India batted big in their second dig, setting Australia an improbable 534 to win.
Although the home side put on a better show with the bat, led by Travis Head’s 89 and Mitchell Marsh’s 47, Australia still collapsed to a 295-run defeat. It was also their first Test loss at the venue.
