The present lot of Indian cricketers has frequently been in the headlines for choosing and/or getting hitched off to their partners. After MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina lately, it was time for Rohit Sharma to divulge the identity of his life partner.

Rohit got engaged to childhood friend Ritika Sajdeh, who is a sports manager by profession and had been the “best friend” of the aggressive batsman since eight years.

Currently captaining the Mumbai Indians at the Indian Premier League, Rohit was in his hometown Mumbai last week, when he shrugged off his bashful nature to propose his ladylove by taking her to Borivali Sports Club, the place where he first began his quest to become a professional cricketer.

Here’s wishing the couple a blissful life ahead!
