Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma dedicated his half-century scored against two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Mumbai on Sunday to his daughter Samaira. After his fifty, he used a sweet gesture to signal the same. Unfortunately, for him when he did that her daughter was sleeping but Rohit more than made up for that as he brought her to the ground after the match and spent some time with her.

IPL 2019 has been a mixed season for Rohit personally as he has only scored 386 runs in 13 innings. This was his second fifty of IPL 2019 and it was more special because it came on his home turf, in front of his wife Ritika Sajdeh and Samaira.
Rohit even tweeted a picture of him, Samaira and wife Ritika Sajdeh and captioned it: "At the end, this is what matters the most."
