Ritika, who also happens to be Rohit’s manager, often travels with her husband. But looks like due to the new BCCI norm, which allows WAGs to be with the players for only 14 days that after the first two weeks of a 45-day overseas tour, Ritika is not in Australia to travel with the team.

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see whether Rohit finds a place in the playing XI for the first Test at the Adelaide Oval or not. With Prithvi Shaw injured, chances are Rohit might open the batting with Murali Vijay. KL Rahul is another opener in the squad, but due to his lack of form, Rohit might be picked ahead of him.
