On Saturday, the veteran Indian opener, Rohit Sharma took to Instagram to post an adorable video of him playing with his daughter Samaira. In the video, Rohit can be seen making Samaira laugh while his wife Ritika captures the father-daughter duo playing on a trampoline. “These days are not coming back,” Rohit Sharma captioned the video on Instagram.
Soon after Rohit posted the video, Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina left a heart emoji in the comments section. The Mumbai Indians skipper has been quiet on social media during the coronavirus enforced lockdown, sharing pictures, videos, and even interacting with other cricketers on Instagram live sessions.
On Friday, during a chat with Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal in a show ”Open nets with Mayank” on BCCI.tv, Rohit said that when he asked his wife Ritika why she got emotional when he achieved the milestone, she said that when he went for a quick single and dived while batting on 195, she thought he had twisted his hand.

Talking to Mayankar, Sharma elaborated, “I just asked her why did she cry? She told me she thought before that, I think it was my 196th run where I had to dive, so she thought I had twisted my hand. That was a really worrying factor for her and she got really emotional because of that, I guess.”
The veteran Indian opener further mentioned that the knock was special because it came on the day of his wedding anniversary. Rohit has three double centuries under his belt in ODIs, two of them came against Sri Lanka while the other one came against Australia in 2013.
