The cricket world was set abuzz when Hardik Pandya unexpectedly assumed leadership of the Mumbai Indians, taking over from Rohit Sharma after his impressive eleven-season stint. Sharma had played a pivotal role in the team’s rise to IPL dominance, making the leadership transition a significant moment. Pandya’s return to the franchise last month, following a high-profile trade from Gujarat Titans, set the stage for this unexpected change.
Adding intrigue to the narrative is Ritika Sajdeh, Rohit Sharma’s wife, who hinted at her reaction to the shift through a social media post linked to the Chennai Super Kings.
In a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, the Chennai Super Kings honored skipper Rohit Sharma, acknowledging his extraordinary journey during the ten-year span from 2013 to 2023. Sajdeh, in response, conveyed her sentiments using a heart symbol in the distinct yellow shade associated with the Chennai Super Kings’ jersey—a subtle yet significant gesture.
