According to reports, the couple exchanged rings at the Borivali Sports Complex in Mumbai, and Bollywood actor Sohail Khan was present because his wife Seema Khan is Ritika's first cousin.
Rohit and his ladylove had been together for six years when he made the decision to propose in style. Ritika had been the subject of a proposal by Rohit at a significant location in his life. At the Borivali Sports Club in Mumbai, he got down on one knee and proposed to her while holding a solitaire ring in his hand. He began his career on the same grounds when he was just 11 years old.

In 2006–2007, he finally made his Ranji Trophy debut. His double century against Gujrat was one of the season's high points despite his lackluster performance in the Ranji Trophy. Rohit Sharma, 20, was chosen for the limited overs team for India's tour to Ireland because selectors could see his potential, and it was there that he made his international debut in a game in which he was not given the opportunity to bat.

On November 18, 2007, against Pakistan in Jaipur, he reached his first ODI half-century (52). He was then chosen for the Indian team that would compete in the 2007–08 Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia.

Nevertheless, his captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had confidence in him, and in 2013 his career was revived. In the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, Dhoni made the choice to bat him higher in the order to bat alongside Shikhar Dhawan to start the innings. India prevailed against the hosts England in the competition's final, and the pairing was a triumph.
Later in the year, when playing Australia in Jaipur, he maintained his strong form and struck 141 (not out). Following that, he scored 209 off 158 balls in Bangalore, setting a record for most sixes (16 sixes) in one day match and that has since been surpassed by England's Eoin Morgan with 17 sixes.

A Tweet critical of Anushka Sharma was liked by Rohit Sharma.
