Team India's Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma has become a father for the second time. His wife Ritika Sajdeh gave birth to a son late at night on 15 November. Rohit had taken a break from Team India for the birth of his child, due to which he did not travel with Team India. Rohit married Ritika Sajdeh on 13 December 2015. On 30 December 2018, Ritika gave birth to daughter Samaira. Now after about 6 years, he has become a parent for the second time. Team India players also congratulated Rohit Sharma and his family on this special occasion.
Suryakumar Yadav congratulated Rohit Sharma on becoming a father for the second time after winning the T20 series against South Africa. Suryakumar Yadav said, 'Many congratulations to Rohit Sharma and his family. It's a wonderful day to hear great news. Another player (Tilak Verma) from the Mumbai Indians family has scored runs, which is a very good thing. I also wish Rohit all the best for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
On the other hand, BCCI has also shared a video on social media. In this video, Suryakumar Yadav was seen talking to fellow players Tilak Verma and Sanju Samson. Both these players scored centuries in the last match of the T20 series. During the conversation, Surya informed Tilak Verma and Sanju Samson about becoming Rohit's father. To which Tilak Verma said, 'We are very happy Rohit Bhai, we were waiting a lot for this moment, I am very eager.' After this Sanju said, 'I am very happy for Rohit and his family. At the same time, Surya said jokingly, 'We have to be prepared with small pads, side arm, bat because a small child has come.'

Rohit Sharma's chances of playing in the first Test match against Australia starting from November 22 in Perth have increased. There is less than a week left for the start of the first Test and it is not clear whether Rohit will play in the match only after a few practice sessions even if he reaches Australia as soon as possible. No possibility can be ruled out right now. Initially, Rohit's participation in the first Test match was doubtful, even though head coach Gautam Gambhir had expressed hope that the Indian captain would be available for the match. In such a situation, if he becomes a part of the first match, then it will be a relief news for Team India.
