India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma shared a light-hearted comment while posing with the restaurant staff following a dinner outing with his family in Mumbai on Wednesday, June 18. The Mumbai-born cricketer spent a relaxed evening alongside his wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samaira.
As he exited the ‘Donmai’ restaurant, Rohit stopped to take pictures with the staff and several local fans who had gathered. Observing the crowd, he made an amused remark:
“Arey poora rasta block kar diya yaar sabne.” (Everyone has completely blocked the road!)

“It’s about motivation” – Ex-India coach makes bold claim on Kohli and Rohit before 2025 England Tests
Ex-India coach Paras Mhambrey feels Kohli and Rohit lacked motivation to continue in Tests, retiring last month ahead of the England series starting June 20. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Mhambrey shared his perspective on their decision to step away from red-ball cricket.
“Virat didn’t have five years of test cricket left in him. You knew that, right? Their individual battles that they fought, they must have realised that it was time. They always say how valuable they could be in their contribution. And sometimes, it’s the motivation bit. Maybe they were not as motivated to play that format.”
“They’ll not be able to give their best to that format. And that’s the way they approach. So very selfless approach, both of them. Sometimes you are not in the frame of mind to go through the grind. If I’m not there 100%, I would rather just be honest and say that, I’m good in one format. Let me focus on the other format, which I can be more useful for the team,” he added.
