Riding on the back of Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 124, India romped home to take a 3-0 unassailable lead. Rohit Sharma combined with MS Dhoni after an early stutter to stitch a partnership of 157 runs. Rohit Sharma was not in the best of forms after the first two One Day Internationals and was hoping to make a strong come back, which he did. Also, it was Jasprit Bumrah’s career best five wickets thatd laid the foundation for the star studded batting line up to take over. But that is not what made the news. It was instead the reaction of Rohit Sharma’s beloved wife Ritika Sajdeh that seemed to have become the highlight of the match. India was 61 for 4 when the two came together and the rest was history.
When Rohit Sharma dabbed a ball close to him to the third man and took the single, it was then that he completed his much awaited century and the Indian dressing room was on their feet, led by Virat Kohli. They were ecstatic and broke into an applause. Soon, the cameras panned towards Ritika Sajdeh. She could be seen jubilant, on her feet, celebrating her husbands well constructed century. She had a smile on her face and you could make out with her reaction, that the century meant a lot for the couple.

The star Indian opener got to his century off 117 balls, which is slow according to his standards. This knock by Rohit will surely do wonders to his confidence that is bound to help him and team India in the future.
