I wonder why Rohit Sharma didn’t attend Ambani Wedding & was enjoying his holidays in England.#AnantAmbani #RadhikaMerchant

Rohit Sharma might have been invited to the grand wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant as he was presented for the sangeet ceremony of the newly married couple, where India skipper, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav were honoured by the Ambani family for the T20 World Cup triumph.
After grand T20 World Cup 2024 victory celebrations, followed up with Anant and Radhika’s sangeet ceremony in Mumbai, Rohit Sharma and his family left for a holiday in London. Recently, Team India skipper was spotted at Wimbledon where he marked his presence for the semifinal match between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev in Centre Court.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is likely to extend his break from cricket as he is reportedly unavailable for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting on August 2. After the conclusion of the ongoing T20I series against Zimbabwe, the Men in Blue will travel to Sri Lanka for three T20Is and as many ODIs.
Rohit Sharma won’t be playing T20Is for India as he retired from the shortest format after leading the Men in Blue to T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.
Apart from Rohit, Virat Kohli is too likely to be rested from the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Rohit and Kohli are expected to return to the action for the three-match Test series against Bangladesh in September.
