“Happy Birthday to my little Cookie Monster,” says Rohit Sharma as his daughter Samaira turns 1

Rohit Sharma has been rested from the Sri Lanka T20Is beginning January 5, 2020.

Rohit Sharma and wife Ritika were blessed with a baby girl on December 30, 2018, and since then, the ‘Hitman’ has transformed himself into a big mushy dad. The little one has already made her IPL debut this year, as Rohit was seen playing with her after winning the IPL 2019 in April.

On Monday, December 30, Rohit Sharma shared some adorable photos with the little one and wished his daughter on Twitter with a loving message, which read, “Happy happy birthday to my little Cookie Monster. Your arrival has brought nothing but excitement, laughter, and bliss to our lives. Here's to more midnight dancing, rapping and showing you the world. @ritssajdeh.”

Rohit, who has played almost every match for India in the last 2 years, took a break from the game for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka, which starts on Jan 5. Rohit is instead of spending time with his family. His next international assignment will be the One-day International (ODI) series against Australia next month.
