New York: It was heartbreak in the Indian camp as they lost their experienced openers – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli – against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 game in New York on Sunday. Following the wicket of Rohit, the cameras panned towards his wife Ritika Sajdeh and her reaction was priceless. She seemed to be shell-shocked on seeing what she had seen. Rohit scored 13 off 12 balls. Rohit perished in the third over of the game off the bowling off Shaheen Afridi. Here are some of her reactions that is now garnering attention on social space.

“We need to assess how conditions play and come up with an idea of what a good score is. Those games have helped us assess conditions here. We’ve spoken about what we need to do as a batting unit to get a good score and then we’ve got the bowling unit to defend. Every game is important in a World Cup, you can’t just show up. Anything can happen,” Rohit said at the toss.
At the time of filing the copy, India have also lost Axar Patel and are 81 for three in 10 overs. Suryakumar Yadav has just walked in. These two would be important from here on in.
