Sat Nov 16 19:49:23 IST 2024: ## Rohit Sharma Welcomes Second Child, a Baby Boy
**Perth, Australia** – Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh have welcomed their second child, a baby boy. The news was confirmed by Sharma himself via a social media post on Saturday, featuring a graphic that read, “Family, now we are four.” The baby was born on Friday.
Sharma’s post, which simply included the date and the graphic, has garnered thousands of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow cricketers alike, including Suryakumar Yadav. The couple’s first child, a daughter named Samaira, joins the family.
The couple’s love story began with a chance meeting at a sporting event, where Ritika Sajdeh, a sports event manager, and Rohit Sharma first connected. After a six-year courtship, they married.
While the joyous occasion unfolds, Sharma’s participation in the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia remains uncertain. While most of the Indian team has already arrived in Perth, Sharma’s absence has been noted. However, he is expected to join the team soon and may feature in the first Test. Official confirmation on his participation is still awaited. This news comes amidst concerns about Shubman Gill’s potential absence from the first test due to injury.
