Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh name their son Ahaan.
The couple welcomed their second child in November, earlier this month. The Captain of India in Tests and ODI teams decided to be with his family for the birth of their second child.
This made him unavailable for the first Test held in Perth.
The Battle of the Best: BGT
In Rohit’s absence, Indian Test Team was led by Indian Pacer Jasprit Bumrah where India dominantly registered a 295-run victory. KL Rahul took the opening position along with Yashasvi Jaiswal and gave a good start to the team, which helped India take the lead in 5-match series.
Virat Kohli was also in his best form with his seventh Test Ton on Australian soil. For Kohli, this century was about more than just runs. It was about proving that, despite the passage of time and the changing dynamics of the team, he still has the hunger and the drive to deliver when it matters most.
Rohit is set to lead the team for the second Test in Adelaide. It will be a pink ball day-night Test at Oval, starting from 6 December.
With Rohit’s return, India will have most of their starting players back in the squad. Shubman Gill’s availability for the second test is yet to be confirmed but he was seen practising in the nets.
Rohit, after his brief absence, will be keen to continue India’s winning momentum for the rest of the tournament.
