On Tuesday, the veteran Indian batsman Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh shared a video of their new-born daughter Samaira smiling on Instagram and the fans showered love on the adorable kid. While many users admired the “cute smile”, a few claimed that her smiling face looks similar to her father.
Having tied the knot with Ritika in December 2015, Sharma became the proud father of a girl on December 31. Then, he was on the tour of Australia, where India registered their first-ever Test and bilateral One-day International (ODI) series victories.
Rohit returned from Australia to Mumbai to attend to his wife Ritika Sajdeh and the child after her birth. He re-joined the Indian team on January 8 ahead of the three-match ODI series that India won 2-1.
Earlier, the Indian opener had shared the first glimpse of the new-born baby. Along with the photograph, he wrote, “Well hello world! Let’s all have a great 2019.”
