On December 31, Rohit and wife Ritika welcomed their first child into the world. Having featured in the third Test of the four-match series against Australia in a winning cause, Rohit had decided to cut short his time with Team India to be with his wife and baby.

Earlier this week, he had taken to Twitter to share the first glimpse of his daughter. 

"Well hello world! Let's all have a great 2019," the 31-year-old had written.
