Dubai [UAE], March 10 (ANI): Following India’s ICC Champions Trophy title win, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja were captured celebrating their win with their families.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma’s run as a captain just got more glorious as the Hitman played a captain’s knock to guide India to their second-successive ICC trophy after last year’s T20 World Cup and their third ICC Champions Trophy title, after sharing the 2002 title with Sri Lanka and winning the 2013 title in the UK after beating England.
After the match, Rohit enjoyed some heartwarming moments with his daughter Samaira and wife Ritika. He also shared a hug with Anushka Sharma, actress and the wife of Indian stalwart Virat Kohli.
