Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma’s three-month-old son, Ahaan, was spotted at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (March 2) during India’s Champions Trophy 2025 Group A match against New Zealand.
Viral Moment: Anushka Sharma Playfully Interacts with Ahaan
A heartwarming video has gone viral on the internet, showing Rohit’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, carrying baby Ahaan on her lap, while Virat Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, is seen playfully interacting with him.
Both Ritika and Anushka were present in Dubai to support Team India in the crucial group-stage match.
Rohit Became a Father for the Second Time in November 2024
Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh welcomed their second child, Ahaan, on November 15, 2024. The couple also has a daughter, Samaira, who was born in 2018.
India vs New Zealand: Kohli’s 300th ODI Ends in Disappointment
The India vs New Zealand match was not just special for Rohit’s son making his first public appearance—it also marked Virat Kohli’s 300th ODI match for India. However, the milestone game didn’t go as planned for Kohli.
Kohli’s Performance in His 300th ODI
- Came out to bat at No. 3.
- Scored 11 runs off 14 balls, including two fours.
- Dismissed by Matt Henry, who bowled a good-length delivery that led to a spectacular one-handed catch by Glenn Phillips.
Despite the early loss of their star batter, India managed to post 249/9 in 50 overs, thanks to key contributions from:
Shreyas Iyer: 79 off 98 balls
Axar Patel: 42 off 61 balls (98-run partnership with Iyer)
On the bowling front, Matt Henry was the standout performer for New Zealand, picking up a brilliant 5-wicket haul for 42 runs in 8 overs.
What’s Next for India?
With Ahaan making his first public appearance and Kohli reaching his 300th ODI, this match was already special for Indian cricket fans. However, with New Zealand chasing 250, all eyes are now on whether India’s bowlers can defend the total and secure a spot in the next stage of the Champions Trophy 2025.
