Ritika Sajdeh and Rohit Sharma are blessed with baby boy.

A boy was born on Friday to Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma and his spouse, Ritika Sajdeh. Given the upcoming birth, Rohit's attendance at the Perth Test match against Australia was doubtful, but he might still make the squad. He hasn't trained with the squad, so his participation depends on his travel schedule and level of readiness.

  • Ritika Sajdeh and Rohit Sharma became parents for the second time. 
  • Rohit skipped the Border Gavakskar Trophy series in Australia.
  • It's unclear if Rohit Sharma will be available for the first test.

A son was born on Friday night to Indian Test and One-Day International captain Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh. Sources confirmed that the birth happened at a nearby hospital.

Rohit is currently waiting for the arrival of his second kid, which is why he is not in Australia with the Indian cricket team. In 2018, Samaira, the couple's daughter, was born.

It is unknown if Rohit will travel to Perth for the November 22nd first Test match against Australia. Due to the short timeframe, there is little opportunity for pre-match practice.

Despite doubts over Sharma's participation, head coach Gautam Gambhir had previously voiced optimism about his availability.

India needs Rohit's leadership and expertise because their top order batting has looked fragile.

Despite his own lacklustre play, Rohit is still regarded as essential, particularly in light of recent worries about other players.

Although Rohit himself is not in his best form, his presence is still considered important, especially considering the recent concerns around other players.
