Ritika Sajdeh's Reply On Fan's Video Praising 'Selfless Captain' Rohit Sharma Is Viral

Rohit Sharma has played a key factor in India's steady performance in the last couple of years. Under his captaincy, the Indian cricket team entered the final of the World Test Championship and also the ODI Cricket World Cup. However, in recent times, Rohit Sharma lost his IPL captaincy as Mumbai Indians opted for Hardik Pandya. Praising Rohit Sharma's 'selfless' captaincy an instagram handle on Wednesday published a video praising Rohit Sharma's captaincy in the third India vs England Test. 

The caption to the video read: "Is selfless captain ko yaad rakhoge na (You will remember this selfless captain right)?" 

Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh reacted to  the video with a smiley. Her reaction was shared a lot on social media. 

Recently, after Mumbai Indians coach Mark Boucher explained the logic behind this change in the leadership structure in a podcast, Rohit's wife Ritika took to social media to post a comment that triggered a fresh storm on the internet.

Boucher called the captaincy change decision purely a 'cricketing' one, as the franchise intended to lift some burden off Rohit's shoulders while giving Hardik the opportunity to continue growing as a captain, having already led the Gujarat Titans to two successive IPL finals.
