The timing of this joyous occasion also holds significance for the Indian cricket team. Rohit, who had initially stayed back in Mumbai to be with Ritika for the birth, could be ready to travel to Australia for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting on November 22 in Perth. The delay in his departure from the squad raised concerns about his availability, but now that the baby boy has arrived, there is hope that the Indian captain could make it in time for the crucial match.

 

Rohit’s presence would not only provide leadership for the team but also fill the gap in the opening position, which has been a challenge for India. The team has been searching for a stable partner for Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rohit’s return could address that issue. Meanwhile, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah is set to lead the team if Rohit is unavailable.
