Watch: Rohit Sharma's dance moves with wife go viral amid ODI ranking surge
Rohit Sharma's viral dance moves with wife. (Video grab) NEW DELHI: India's ODI captain Rohit Sharma is making headlines off the pitch, with a viral video showing the star batter dancing with wife Ritika Sajdeh at her brother's wedding. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The video is reportedly from 2023, and the girl accompanying the star couple in the dance moves was the bride of the big day. The clip, which has lit up social media, also features the couple practising their moves at home before the big performance. WATCH: The 38-year-old is currently on a break from cricket following the 2025 IPL season. In the latest ICC ODI rankings for batters released on Wednesday, Rohit climbed to No. 2, overtaking Pakistan's Babar Azam , who slipped to third after a lean series against the West Indies. With 756 points, Rohit now sits just behind India's Test captain Shubman Gill (784). Poll What do you think of Rohit Sharma's dance moves at the wedding? Impressive and fun! A nice break from cricket! Former captain Virat Kohli holds fourth spot with 736 points, while Shreyas Iyer (8th) and KL Rahul (15th) ensure India has five batters in the top 15. Rohit and Kohli, both retired from Test cricket earlier this year, are expected to feature in the three-match ODI series against Australia in October. The veteran opener recently began training with former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar in Mumbai, signalling he's not ready to walk away from the 50-over game just yet. An ODI legend with 32 centuries — behind only Virat Kohli (51) and Sachin Tendulkar (49) — Rohit was Player of the Match in India's Champions Trophy final win against New Zealand earlier this year. Amid his ranking surge, it's his wedding dance steps — not his trademark pull shots — that are stealing the spotlight. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

"R Ashwin And...": CSK Told To Offload 2 Star Players For Sanju Samson Trade Deal
Sanju Samson 's reported move away from the Rajasthan Royals (RR) has gained a lot of steam, amid the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) trade window. According to multiple reports, Samson has expressed his desire to leave RR, and has requested to franchise to trade or release him ahead of the IPL mini auction. A report by Cricbuzz also claimed that the differences between the two parties is so severed that the cricketer's family is openly saying that Samson does not want to continue with RR. "Serious differences have cropped up between Sanju Samson and the Royals management - so much so that the designated captain has formally requested to be traded or released into the auction," the report stated. As per the same reports, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are leading the race to acquire the services of Samson, while Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have also shown interest over a possible trade deal. Amid all this, former India wicketkeeper Robin Uthappa has picked two players he thinks CSK could offer to RR if they want to trade Samson from the 2008 champions. Uthappa, who has played for both CSK and KKR, feels that if the reports are indeed true, Samson should ideally join the five-time champions. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Uthappa suggested that veteran all-rounders R Ashwin and Vijay Shankar could go the other way. "CSK for sure. If they are able to get him and if they are able to snap him up, then it'll do really well for him," Uthappa said in a video on his YouTube channel. "I think the transition of MS Dhoni to the next wicketkeeper, they already have in Sanju, so that is already taken care of. Otherwise, they would have to look at, say, at this point, say Devon Conway as a wicketkeeping option. But if he comes onboard, there is a lot of good that can happen for CSK," he added. "What they don't have? They only have Shimron Hetmyer at six. They don't have a finisher at number six or seven. Maybe Sam Curran. Vijay Shankar could be the one who goes with Ashwin as well. That could happen. He's a pretty decent bowler, but they haven't utilised him."

Zaheer Khan meets Rohit Sharma moments after LSG exit confirmed
Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan has reportedly parted ways with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Zaheer had joined the franchise last year as a replacement for Gautam Gambhir in the role of mentor, bringing his vast international and IPL experience to the team setup. Zaheer Khan has parted ways with LSG According to a report in the Times of India, Zaheer has all but severed ties with LSG. 'LSG is set to part ways with Zaheer Khan and the new mentor will be given a bigger role to monitor RPSG Group's other franchises,' a source tracking the development said. The report further mentioned that LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, currently in the UK for The Hundred, will announce a Director of Cricket who will oversee year-round development of LSG's other teams — Durban's Super Giants in SA20 and Manchester Originals in The Hundred. This move is seen as part of a broader restructuring of RPSG's cricket operations. Zaheer played a dual role at Lucknow — as mentor and bowling coach — replacing former South Africa pacer Morne Morkel, who left to work alongside Gambhir in the Indian cricket team. This marks the second major coaching change at LSG since the end of IPL 2025. Last month, former India bowling coach Bharat Arun was appointed as the new bowling coach with additional responsibilities for scouting and developing quicks for Durban's Super Giants and, from next year, the Manchester Originals. Zaheer meets Rohit Sharma after LSG exit Shortly after his departure, Zaheer met former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma and posted a photo with him on social media. Two-time World Cup winner Yuvraj Singh was also present. Zaheer captioned the image: "Buggi night with Shana log." Between 2018 and 2022, he served as Mumbai Indians' Director of Cricket before moving to the role of Head of Global Development.
