‘My proposal was quite romantic’: Rohit Sharma opens about proposing to Ritika Sajeh – Watch. Cricket news
India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma recently shared the story of his romantic proposal during a conversation with the YouTube channel “Huz The Boss” with former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and his wife Geeta Basra Singh? The cricketer revealed how he took Ritika to his childhood cricket ground on the pretext of getting an ice cream and orbit a surprising proposal where he went down to a knee in the middle of the pitch, while her friend captured the moment. Recalling the details of the memorable evening, the Cricket Star explained how the proposal came out with familiar sites in Mumbai. “My offer was quite romantic. I took him to the place where I started playing cricket. We were only (apparently with Marine Drive). He brought food from home. We ate it. So, I was just sitting. Then I told him that I told him that I go out to eat ice cream, I am bored. Then we put the car out. We left Marine Drive, crossed Haji Ali, Worli. So, he asked where is the ice cream shop? He does not know anything after Bandra. I told him that there is a good one in Borivali, where I live. You have never come, so let me show you, “Rohit shared during the conversation. The cricket captain continued to describe the moment of the actual proposal on the ground. “It was a land and this pitch was dark and did not realize that it is a land. Then I had already asked my friend to set something on the ground and just reached there to catch that moment. We park the car. Then I went to my knees, in the middle of the pitch, then, I proposed it to him.”
This revelation occurred amid significant changes in Rohit’s cricket career, as he recently announced his retirement from T20 International after India’s victory at the 2024 T20 World Cup held in West Indies and USA.
