India’s recent cricket triumphs have been largely attributed to Rohit Sharma, the talisman who is admired for both his leadership qualities and on-field abilities. The Indian cricket team made it to the World Test Championship and ODI Cricket World Cup finals while he was captain. However, Rohit Sharma lost his IPL captaincy recently when the Mumbai Indians selected Hardik Pandya over him. Despite the recent change in his IPL captaincy, his fans continue to admire his selfless approach.
A video praising Rohit Sharma’s ‘selfless’ captaincy in the third India vs England Test was posted on February 21 on Instagram and has gone viral. The caption of the video posed the question, “Is selfless captain ko yaad rakhoge na (You will remember this selfless captain right)?”

Cricket fans were intrigued by the response that Ritika Sajdeh, Rohit Sharma’s wife, gave. In response to the video, she shared a sweet yet simple smiley to show her gratitude for the recognition of her husband’s leadership abilities. Ritika Sajdeh’s response was promptly embraced by social media users, resulting in its viral spread.
On social media, Ritika Sajdeh continuously stands up for Rohit Sharma, showing her love and support even in the face of criticism and difficult circumstances. She publicly expresses her support for the cricketer, sticking by him through good times and bad.
Meanwhile, the recent switch of Rohit Sharma’s IPL captaincy from the Mumbai Indians to Hardik Pandya has sparked debate in the cricketing community.
The Mumbai Indians’ coach, Mark Boucher, clarified that the decision was a cricketing one, to allow Rohit to focus more on his batting while also allowing Hardik Pandya to continue growing as a captain. Ritika Sajdeh criticised Boucher’s explanation on a podcast, saying, “So many things wrong with this…” Her comment fueled the ongoing discussions about the captaincy change, causing a stir on social media.
Mark Boucher emphasised that the decision was part of a transition period that aimed to bring out the best in Rohit Sharma, both as a person and a player. The idea was to take some of the pressure off Rohit’s shoulders and allow him to enjoy the game by focusing on scoring runs without the added responsibility of captaincy.
