Gurunath Sharma, Rohit Sharma’s father was a warehouse keeper for a transportation company. Due to his father's limited salary, Sharma was raised by his grandparents and uncles in Borivali. Only on weekends did he travel to his parents' one-room Dombivli home to see them. Vishal Sharma is his younger brother. Rohit Sharma’s wife is Ritika Sajdeh. Rohit Sharma’s daughter's name is Samaira.
In 1999 Rohit Sharma utilized his uncle's funds to enroll in a cricket camp. His camp coach Dinesh Lad suggested that he switch to Swami Vivekanand International School because it had better cricket facilities than his previous school and Lad was the head coach there.
In his own words, Rohit Sharma recalls I told him I couldn't afford it but he got me a scholarship. So for four years, I didn't pay a penny and I did well in my cricket. Rohit Sharma began as an off-spinner who could bat a little before Lad recognized his batting prowess and moved him up to the number eight position to start the innings. He performed admirably in the Harris and Giles Shield school cricket competitions opening the innings and getting a century.
Reports of a relationship between Rohit Sharma and Sophia Hayat first surfaced in the year 2012. Numerous newspapers ran stories about Sofia Hayat and Rohit Sharma's relationship. However, as soon as their affair became public knowledge news of Rohit and Sophia's split spread almost as quickly.
Through a tweet, the actress made it clear that their relationship had ended. But everyone was surprised by what she disclosed. Virat Kohli a fellow famous batsman is alleged to be to blame for Rohit's separation. According to rumors one of the reasons Kohli and Sofia's relationship ended was because of their friendship. I turned Rohit down because Virat is a better player on and off the field the actress stated in a tweet.
Ritika a sports event manager is Yuvraj Singh's rakhi sister and also a cricket player. Yuvraj had cautioned Rohit Sharma to keep a safe distance from Ritika Sajdeh before they had met for an advertisement shoot.
Ritika was initially disliked by Rohit but as the two got to know one another more they eventually began dating. They had been dating each other for a solid six years before getting married. Ritika and Rohit were coworkers when they first met. As Rohit's manager Ritika a sports event manager used to handle all of his cricket commitments.
On June 3 2015 Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh announced their engagement. Later after declaring their engagement Rohit arranged an engagement party where he and his then-girlfriend Ritika Sajdeh formally exchanged engagement rings. 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. Ritika accepted the offer and answered yes after being taken aback by this gesture. He had tweeted the following along with a photo of the two: It couldn't get any better: soulmates and best pals.
The date of Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh's marriage was set for December 13, 2015. In Mumbai's Taj Lands Hotel there had been a celebrity-studded wedding. A who's who of Bollywood business and cricket worlds attended their lavish wedding. On December 30 2018 Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh welcomed their adorable daughter into the world after three years of blissful marriage.
Due to his family's financial situation and his love of athletics, he was previously denied the opportunity to be raised by his parents. Rohit Sharma didn't have enough money to cover his education expenses but he had dreams since he was a little child. All of his uncles had participated in collegiate and high school cricket. Rohit's aunts and friends contributed some funds in 1999 to enable him to enrol in a local cricket academy after realizing his capabilities and love for the sport.
Rohit began as an off-spinner before coach Dinesh Lad urged him to transfer and attend Swami Vivekananda International School bearing in mind the better coaching and training facilities there. Now he is noted for his seemingly easy stroke play. Rohit was initially apprehensive to enrol in the new school since he knew it would be expensive and that his family wouldn't be able to pay the tuition.
However if one has it in them life does give them a chance or two. Coach Dinesh Lad managed to secure Rohit a scholarship which spared him from paying tuition for the following four years. Lad quickly recognized Rohit's batting potential and advised him to concentrate on his batting also.
Rohit was asked to begin the batting since he would bat at positions 8 and 9 and he lived up to Coach Lad's faith by scoring an unbroken 120 runs in his maiden Inter-School game as an opener. Rohit spent his four years at this institution working on his batting technique and it showed every time he took the bat in his hand.
Rohit Sharma had to play his first domestic cricket match for West Zone versus Central Zone in the 2005 Deodhar Trophy.

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 lacklustre performance in the Ranji Trophy.

On June 23 2007 in a one-day match in Belfast against Ireland Sharma made his complete international debut. This was a contest in the 2007 Future Cup that also included South Africa. He batted at number seven in the order but did not participate in the innings as India won by nine wickets. 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. He defeated Zimbabwe on May 28 2010 and that day he hit his first ODI century with 114 runs.
In 2012 he suffered a dismal loss of form scoring just 168 runs overall at a pitiful average of 12.92 with just one half-century.

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.
