India’s cricketing legend Rohit Sharma has been enjoying a much-deserved break in Italy, away from the hustle of competitive cricket, following his retirement from Test matches. The star batter was recently seen spending quality time with his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and daughter, Samaira, as they explored the beautiful streets of Milan. This family vacation comes even as the Indian Test team battles England in a highly anticipated five-match series currently underway in the UK.
India faced a tough start to the series, losing the opening Test by five wickets in Leeds. However, while his former teammates continue the campaign, Rohit appears to be embracing a slower pace of life. Dressed in a casual black T-shirt and jeans paired with grey sneakers, the former Test captain looked relaxed and content. Ritika complemented the vacation vibe with a stylish black dress as the family was spotted by fans strolling through Italy’s fashion capital.
A video posted by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) quickly went viral, showing the Sharma family interacting with admirers and enjoying the Italian summer. Earlier, Rohit had been vacationing in Abu Dhabi with his family after a demanding IPL 2025 season, before continuing his travel spree in Europe.
This holiday also marks a significant transition in Rohit Sharma’s illustrious career. The right-handed batsman had officially announced his retirement from Test cricket just ahead of the England tour, bringing an end to a glorious red-ball journey. Over 67 Test matches, Rohit scored 4,301 runs at a commendable average of 40.57. His tally includes 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries, often playing pivotal roles in India’s key overseas and home victories.
Known for his elegant strokeplay and leadership acumen, Rohit Sharma’s absence is being felt both on and off the field. His retirement has signaled the beginning of a new era in India’s Test setup, with younger talents now stepping up to fill the void. However, for the fans, seeing Rohit happy and relaxed with his family in Italy is a reminder of the balance elite athletes seek after years of relentless commitment to the game.
As the Indian team prepares for the remaining Tests against England, supporters continue to cherish Rohit’s contributions and wish him well on this next phase of life. Whether he’s leading a team on the field or making memories with his loved ones in picturesque cities, Rohit Sharma remains one of India’s most beloved cricketing icons.
