The connection between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma 's wife Ritika Sajdeh

Before Ritika Sajdeh became widely known as the wife of Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma , she shared a significant professional connection with another Indian cricket superstar, Virat Kohli . 

The story of Virat Kohli and Ritika Sajdeh goes back to 2010, during the Indian Premier League ( IPL ). At that time, Ritika was working as a sports talent manager and was responsible for handling Kohli’s professional representation. Their work relationship naturally blossomed into a close friendship, partly due to another key figure in both their lives, Ritika’s brother, Bunty Sajdeh.

Bunty Sajdeh had played an instrumental role in managing Virat Kohli ’s career during his early days. As Kohli rose to fame, Bunty helped him secure significant brand endorsements that boosted Kohli's profile and wealth. Given their professional bond, Kohli also developed a close friendship with Ritika, which strengthened over the years as they worked together.

In 2013, after India's successful tour of Zimbabwe, photos of Virat Kohli and Ritika Sajdeh surfaced online, showing them exiting a theatre after what appeared to be a casual movie outing. At the time, Ritika was still managing Kohli’s career, and their closeness fueled much speculation about their relationship. Despite the rumors, neither Kohli nor Ritika ever confirmed anything about their alleged relationship.

However, by 2015, Ritika Sajdeh’s relationship status became clear when she tied the knot with Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma in December of that year. Rohit, who was making waves in international cricket, and Ritika, who had always maintained a low profile, became one of cricket’s most-loved couples. The couple now shares a daughter, Samaira.
