Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma and Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh were spotted sitting together in the stands during the WTC Final between India and Australia. As the Rohit Sharma-led team took on Australia in the mega clash, the players’ families were also present at the venue to support Team India.
Meanwhile, the wives of two of the most sought-after names in Indian cricket at the moment were captured in one frame. While this is not the first time, Sharma and Sajdeh went to the stadium to show their support for the team, it was probably the first instance of the two sitting together.
This picture of Anushka Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh sitting together went viral on social media in no time and expectedly drew quite a few reactions from the fans.

Is Lady Luck not working for Team India?
While fans expected that having their wives at the stadium might help the players’ luck but nothing of this sort happened. Both Virat Kohli (14) and Rohit Sharma (15) got out cheaply in India’s first innings. In fact, India lost all four top-order batters within 100 runs (71 to be precise) and it was down to the lower middle order to bail the team out of trouble yet again.
Ajinkya Rahane (89), Shardul Thakur (51), and Ravindra Jadeja (48) responded well to this challenge. On the back of these three knocks, India managed to keep Australia’s lead under 200 (173). Nevertheless, Australia are still way ahead as the Pat Cummins-led team leads India by 296 runs.
In case you missed!
