Rohit Sharma Honoured at Wankhede Stadium: Wife Ritika Gets Emotional, Video Goes Viral

A proud moment unfolded at Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium as a stand was officially named after Indian cricket star Rohit Sharma, fondly known as the "Hitman" by fans across the globe. The emotional highlight of the ceremony was the touching reaction of Rohit’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, whose eyes welled up with tears of joy as her husband received the honor. A video capturing this heartfelt moment has gone viral on social media.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and NCP leader Sharad Pawar, along with other dignitaries. Rohit Sharma’s parents and Ritika were also present to witness the memorable occasion.

Interestingly, before the unveiling of the stand named after Rohit Sharma, a stand named after Sharad Pawar was also inaugurated. However, it was the moment dedicated to Rohit that truly captured public attention. As the "Hitman" was felicitated and his contributions to Indian cricket celebrated, Ritika's emotional response stood out and resonated with fans everywhere.

Social media platforms have since been flooded with tributes, praises, and messages congratulating Rohit Sharma, while the video of Ritika’s teary-eyed moment continues to touch hearts across the cricketing world. This recognition at Wankhede—a stadium that has witnessed many of Rohit’s memorable innings—is seen as a fitting tribute to one of India’s most accomplished cricketers.
