Team India captain Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh have reportedly welcomed their second child, a baby boy, on Friday night. While neither Rohit nor his family has officially confirmed the news, fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the couple.

Rohit and Ritika had kept the news of Ritika's pregnancy under wraps for a considerable time. However, the news surfaced recently amidst speculation about Rohit's availability for the first Test in Perth, starting November 22.

India captain Rohit Sharma has delayed his departure for the Australia tour due to his wife Ritika's pregnancy. While he missed the practice sessions in Australia, he was spotted training in Mumbai. 

Rohit Sharma is now expected to play in the opening match of IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Earlier, there were reports suggesting he might miss 1-2 matches of the five-match Test series against Australia due to birth of his second child. However, it now seems likely that the senior opener will be available for the entire IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar series.
