After leading the Mumbai Indians (MI) to a thrilling last-ball victory over the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2023 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, captain Rohit Sharma had a heart-to-heart conversation with his wife Ritika Sajdeh via video call. Rohit admitted to Ritika that he was so nervous near the end that he skipped the last over and went inside.

Rohit's impressive performance with the bat helped Mumbai Indians claim their first IPL 2023 victory. Delhi Capitals batted first and were bowled out for 172. In response, Rohit top-scored with 65 off 45 balls, while Tilak Varma chipped in with 41 off 29 balls to put MI in command.

Despite Mumbai's strong start, Delhi's bowlers fought back and took the game into the final over. In a nail-biting finish, an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 30 between Cameron Green (17) and Tim David (13) propelled MI over the line.

Following the game, Rohit had a video call with his wife Ritika. During their chat, Rohit promised Ritika to win the IPL 2023 title for their daughter Samaira.

Rohit's wife mentioned that our daughter, Samaira, would be overjoyed to receive the trophy. In response, Rohit stated, "Samy is more excited about the trophy than my batting skills."
