Rohit Sharma's Wife Ritika Sajdeh Reveals Baby Boy's Name

Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh have named their newly born baby boy as Ahaan. The couple was blessed with second child on November 15, 2024. Rohit had opted out of the first Test against Australia in Perth to be with his family. Jasprit Bumrah led India to a 295-run victory in Rohit's absence.

Ritika shared the news on Instagram, posting a Christmas-themed family cutout. The image featured nicknames: "Ro" for Rohit, "Rits" for Ritika, "Sammy" for their daughter Samaira, and "Ahaan" for their newborn son. The post was simply captioned "December".

After the birth of his son, Rohit rejoined the Indian team for a warm-up match against Prime Minister's XI at Manuka Oval in Canberra. The match, initially planned for two days, was reduced to one due to rain. Rohit batted at number four and scored three runs off 11 balls.

The upcoming Test series is significant for India as they aim to secure a spot in the ICC World Test Championship final. Rohit will return to his usual opening position for the Adelaide pink-ball day-night Test starting December 6.
