Rohit Sharma, often referred to as ‘Hitman,’ is a household name in India. The captain of the Indian cricket team, Sharma boasts an impressive career filled with records and exceptional performances. He continues to dominate the Indian Premier League (IPL), even though his team, the Mumbai Indians, lost their opening game in the 2024 season. Despite this setback, Sharma impressed everyone with his batting skills. Interestingly, while Sharma earns a hefty salary of Rs 16 crore annually from the Mumbai Indians and the BCCI, his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, also plays a crucial role in managing his finances.
The Woman Behind The 'Hitman': Meet Ritika Sajdeh
Ritika Sajdeh, unlike her cricket star husband, prefers to stay out of the limelight. However, her contributions to Sharma's success cannot be ignored. A sports manager by profession, Sajdeh played a key role in securing lucrative endorsement deals for Virat Kohli during her time at Cornerstone, a sports and talent management company co-founded by her cousin Bunty Sajdeh.

Their combined efforts reportedly helped Kohli land deals with major brands like Tissot, Audi, Pepsi, and Adidas. Cornerstone has further expanded its reach, venturing into the entertainment industry through Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA) in partnership with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. This agency currently manages several prominent names in Bollywood, including Janhvi Kapoor (Inside Janhvi Kapoor's Beau Shikhar Pahariya's Rising Net Worth), Sara Ali Khan, and Vijay Deverakonda.
Net Worth
According to reports from Sportskeeda and other sources, Ritika Sajdeh has been overseeing Rohit Sharma's brand deals and contracts since their marriage. This suggests her significant contribution to managing his finances. Estimates suggest her net worth (Sushmita Sen's Staggering Net Worth: A Closer Look At Her Lavish Lifestyle) to be around Rs 10 crore.

Their love story began during an advertisement shoot where Sajdeh was managing Sharma's professional commitments. This professional connection blossomed into a strong friendship and eventually, love. The couple's proposal took place at the Borivali Sports Club, a place that holds special significance for Sharma as it marked the beginning of his cricketing journey. In 2015, they tied the knot in a grand ceremony attended by celebrities from both Bollywood and the cricket world. Three years later, their family grew with the arrival of their daughter, Samaira.
