NEW DELHI: India's ODI captain
Rohit Sharma is making headlines off the pitch, with a viral video showing the star batter dancing with wife Ritika Sajdeh at her brother's wedding.
Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!The video is reportedly from 2023, and the girl accompanying the star couple in the dance moves was the bride of the big day. The clip, which has lit up social media, also features the couple practising their moves at home before the big performance.
WATCH:The 38-year-old is currently on a break from cricket following the 2025 IPL season. In the latest ICC ODI rankings for batters released on Wednesday, Rohit climbed to No. 2, overtaking Pakistan's
Babar Azam, who slipped to third after a lean series against the West Indies. With 756 points, Rohit now sits just behind India's Test captain
Shubman Gill (784).
Former captain
Virat Kohli holds fourth spot with 736 points, while Shreyas Iyer (8th) and KL Rahul (15th) ensure India has five batters in the top 15.
Rohit and Kohli, both retired from Test cricket earlier this year, are expected to feature in the three-match ODI series against Australia in October. The veteran opener recently began training with former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar in Mumbai, signalling he's not ready to walk away from the 50-over game just yet.
An ODI legend with 32 centuries — behind only Virat Kohli (51) and
Sachin Tendulkar (49) — Rohit was Player of the Match in India's Champions Trophy final win against New Zealand earlier this year.
Amid his ranking surge, it's his wedding dance steps — not his trademark pull shots — that are stealing the spotlight.
