#2 When Rohit Sharma lifted the 2017 IPL Trophy with wife Ritika

In 2017, Mumbai Indians defeated Rising Pune Supergiant by 1 run and clinched their 3rd IPL title and became the first team to do so in the short history of the tournament. With this victory, Rohit Sharma also became the most successful captain in IPL in terms of titles won.

It was a special and important tournament for Rohit Sharma as he came into the tournament after a 4-month injury break which he got in October 2016. And during his time off the field, it was the support of his loved ones and especially, his wife, Ritika which helped him make a strong comeback.

The Mumbai Indians captain decided to have his wife lift the IPL 2017 trophy with him as a small token of love and gratitude for all her support and encouragement. Cricket witnessed yet another beautiful moment of love.
