From Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli: 5 Indian cricketers who credit their wives or girlfriends for success

“Hitman” Rohit Sharma has thanked his wife Ritika Sajdeh, for her love and support in many incidents. For instance, in 2021 Rohit Sharma thanked Ritika for scoring a century in the 2nd Test in a special way ahead of Valentine’s Day. “Fingers seem to be fine. Sammy and I giving mamma a little rub on sore fingers,” Rohit had tweeted.

More recently, on Ritika’s birthday in 2026, Rohit shared some of their pictures together on social media, calling her his “constant non-striker’s end partner” and the glue that keeps their little family together. Through captaincy pressures, injuries, and triumphs, Ritika’s quiet strength—managing home while he’s away—keeps Rohit steady. In cricket’s chaos, she’s his calm at the crease.
