India’s captain is arriving in Dharamshala, where his team already waits. Recently, this 36-year-old played a stellar role in a Ranchi Test series win. It was a breathtaking 3-1 for India! Afterward, he took a short rest. He was spotted at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations. They lasted three days and were held in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Rohit Sharma was joined by his bride, Ritika Sajdeh, for the pre-wedding festivities. Star cricketers, politicians, actresses, singers, and businessmen were among those who attended the occasion.
The Ambani family owns the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Mumbai Indians (MI), which Rohit Sharma has guided to five IPL victories. Hardik Pandya has taken over as captain for the 2018 IPL season, replacing the latter.
On the professional front, Rohit Sharma will now attempt to lead India to another victory in the fifth Test. With the bat, the right-hander has 297 runs in eight innings, an average of 37.12, including one century and one fifty in the series.
