New Delhi. During the match against Pakistan, when Team India won the toss and went to bat first, it was the responsibility of Team India to set a big target. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma came to open. With the way Virat and Rohit started, it was believed that they would put Pakistan on the back foot from the start but that was not the case. It was natural for his wife Ritika Sajdeh to be disappointed when Rohit Sharma was dismissed for playing a bad shot, but Pakistan legend Ramiz Raza enjoyed Ritika’s disappointment.
Indeed, Rohit Sharma hit Shaheen Shah Afridi for a brilliant six towards square leg in the very first over. A four also came from his bat in the next over but Shaheen Afridi dismissed him on the fourth ball of the third over. The hitman flicked the ball towards square leg and Harris Roofe caught it very easily. After the match, the camera man of Star Sports showed his wife Ritika Sajdeh on camera. Seeing Ritika’s disappointment, Ramiz Raja, who was present in the commentary box, immediately said that poor Begum Sahiba. Rohit disappointed Begum with this shot.
India’s record against Pakistan at the World Cup stage is superb. Pakistan team has managed to defeat India only once in the World Cup. In the T20 World Cup 2021, the opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan defeated Team India all four times. Then the Indian team lost this match by 10 wickets. New York pitches are very good for bowlers. In such a situation, Team India will have to play carefully here.
