Rohit Sharma shares picture from wholesome dinner with wife Ritika Sajdeh

Team India captain Rohit Sharma recently shared a heartwarming picture of his wife Ritika Sajdeh from their candlelight dinner in the United Kingdom.

After a grueling England tour, Rohit is currently on a break from cricket. He was granted rest from the three-match ODI series against West Indies, which gets underway on July 22 in Trinidad.

The Mumbai-born cricketer is spending some quality time with his wife and daughter Samaira in the UK. Rohit recently shared a picture of Ritika from their dinner on his Instagram stories.

Ritika accompanied Rohit on the tour of the UK. While the Indian captain missed the rescheduled fifth Test against England, Rohit led the Men in Blue to victory in the ODIs and T20Is. The visitors won both three-match series 2-1.

In Rohit's absence, Shikhar Dhawan will lead India in the three-match ODI series against West Indies. Ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been named as Dhawan's deputy.

The one-dayers will get underway on July 22. The second and third ODIs are scheduled for July 24 and 27. The Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, will host all three games.
