Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh were present at the annual event of Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, where their daughter Samaira is a student. This occurred shortly after Rohit relinquished his role as the Mumbai Indians captain to Hardik Pandya, following Pandya’s surprising trade from Gujarat Titans for the upcoming IPL 2024 season.
Despite Samaira’s on-stage performance, the couple’s serious demeanor at the function led fans to speculate on the connection with Rohit’s captaincy loss, prompting social media discussions.
Mumbai Indians officially announced the leadership change, citing it as part of their strategic planning, and expressed gratitude to Rohit for his remarkable service since 2013, during which the team secured five IPL titles.

Hardik Pandya, returning to Mumbai Indians after a stint with Gujarat Titans, was appointed as the new captain for the upcoming season. Rohit, fresh from leading India to the ODI World Cup final, had captained Mumbai Indians since 2013, guiding them to victories in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. The franchise emphasized Rohit’s extraordinary leadership, acknowledging his pivotal role in their success.
While expressing gratitude, Mumbai Indians welcomed Hardik Pandya as the new captain, wishing him success.
Hardik had been instrumental in Mumbai Indians’ success from 2015 to 2021 before captaining Gujarat Titans to an IPL title in 2022 and a runner-up finish in the following season.
The captaincy change also sparks speculation about Rohit’s future in T20 cricket, especially after India’s disappointment in the ODI World Cup. Although another ODI World Cup appearance appears unlikely, Rohit might return to lead India in the T20 World Cup in six months. Notably, both Rohit and Virat Kohli have been absent from T20 internationals since India’s semifinal exit in the World Cup in Australia last year.
