There were no other details like the time the baby was born but the news soon became a trending topic on the social media channels.  Rohit and Ritika have a daughter, who will complete six years on December 30.

It was Rohit Sharma who had hinted at the new addition to his family when he confirmed that he was not sure about playing the first Test of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia starting in Perth on November 22.

Sharma said he was unsure whether he would be playing the Perth Test for personal reasons, in the post-match press conference after India suffered a humiliating 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium earlier this month.

So in between the congratulatory messages for Rohit Sharma and his wife, were also posts expressing relief that the India captain would be available for the Perth Test.

However, one would have to wait for confirmation from either Rohit Sharma or the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on his availability for the Perth Test.
