Sat Nov 16 20:08:03 UTC 2024: ## Indian Cricket Captain Rohit Sharma Welcomes Baby Boy
**Perth, Australia –** Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma and his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, have welcomed their second child, a baby boy, it was announced Friday. The news was shared on Sharma’s Instagram account with a photo captioned “Family, the one where we are FOUR.” The couple, married since 2015, already have a daughter, Samaira, born in 2018.
This announcement follows earlier speculation that Sharma might miss the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, starting November 22nd, due to personal reasons. While Sharma previously expressed uncertainty about his availability for the Perth match, the arrival of his son now confirms the reason for his potential absence. If Sharma is unable to play, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah is expected to lead the team.
The upcoming series against Australia is anticipated to be a challenging one for India, with the added difficulty of a pink-ball Test match in Adelaide. India will be looking to continue their recent success in Australia, having won their last two tours Down Under.
