IND vs AUS 2nd Test: Ahead of rank turner in Delhi, Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh orders Indian captain to send ‘Replacement Fingers’, CHECK Why
Rohit held his own against the Australia spinners in a match where rookie Todd Murphy outwitted several senior India batters. In his innings, the 35-year-old smacked two sixes and 15 fours. It was his first Test century against Australia.
Rohit’s 120 was his ninth Test hundred at home, tying him with Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.
The captain of India now averages 75.2 in home games. Rohit is the second-best batsman among players who have played in 20 or more home innings of cricket, trailing only Sir Don Bradman.
Ritika Sajdeh and the case of ‘Replacement Fingures’
In an Instagram story, Ritika wrote: “I love you, Rohit Sharma, but send replacement fingers please.” The text was accompanied by a joyful photo of Rohit.
Ritika has an odd tendency of crossing her fingers while her husband is at the crease. Fans frequently post pictures of Ritika from the stands in nervous moments while watching Rohit bat.
After Rohit’s Ton, India finally were bowled out at 400 in 1st innings, increasing their lead to 223 runs. Australia’s batsmen failed to respond to India’s spin attack in their second innings and lost by an inning and 132 runs.
In terms of victories by innings, this was India’s third-largest victory over Australia.
Milestones, match-winning contributions and some special praise for @imjadeja! 🔝 👏
