The Indian team departed to Australia for participating in the T20 World Cup 2022 on the morning of Thursday, October 6. India will be led by Rohit Sharma and they would be looking to end their long nine-year ICC title drought this time around.
Before leaving for Australia, skipper Rohit Sharma sought the blessings of Lord Ganesha as he paid a visit to the Siddhivinayak Temple in Prabhadevi, Mumbai on the day of Dussehra. Rohit was accompanied by his wife Ritika and their daughter Samaira as they prayed for India’s triumph in the mega event.
Meanwhile, the news of Rohit visiting the Ganpati Mandir was officially confirmed by the temple’s CEO Ms. Nanda Raut.
“He paid a visit to our temple on the day of Dusserah on Wednesday. He came with his wife (Ritika) and daughter Samaira at around 6.30 pm. His visit was not intimated earlier but he was well escorted and looked after by our security staff. He was in the temple for about ten minutes”, said Raut according to Deccan Chronicle.
“Rohit could comfortably take the blessings of Lord Ganesha. The monk gave him a garland and a coconut and blessed the family. We wish the Indian team returns with the World Cup trophy”, she added.
