It is Christmas 2019 and the festive fever has engrossed one and all. Even cricketers are busy celebrating Christmas by spending quality time with their families. Elegant Indian opener Rohit Sharma is celebrating Xmas 2019 week with his family and friends. Rohit’s wife Ritika has shared a picture of them celebrating the festival on her official Instagram account.
Apart from Rohit, even West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard has reached home to celebrate Christmas with his wife. He even shared a picture of their Christmas 2019 celebration on their Instagram account. Both Pollard and wife have worn a similar kind of Santa dress while the Christmas tree can be spotted in the back.
Former South African great AB de Villiers also celebrated Christmas. De Villiers can be spotted enjoying Christmas with his wife. The couple was wearing ‘Santa glasses’. Posting the image, de Villers captioned the image, ” Merry Christmas Everyone. Our hearts rejoice in him.”
Even God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar and Ajinkya Rahane shared images on Social Media from their Christmas celebrations.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas🎄.
May this Christmas bring lots of happiness to our hearts ♥ and homes🏠 . I hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends. 🎁❄ pic.twitter.com/2mquflBDlv
Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane backed long-time teammate Rohit Sharma’s “hunger for runs” as the current India Test and ODI captain prepares for a return to domestic cricket after low returns in his last eight Tests this season.
Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar said he has a strong belief in Rohit Sharma having the autonomy to decide when he retires from international cricket, though he thinks the selectors could also have a say in it.
In 2023-24, the BCCI had stripped Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer of their annual contracts after the duo did not turn up for their respective state sides despite not being on national duty. While the move set a precedent for many, it may not be the same in the case of Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli — with both the veterans battling a prolonged lean patch in red-ball cricket.
