Superstitions and cricket have a close connection as every cricketer who performs well after doing an unusual thing at the beginning of the match starts believing that that activity was the reason for his good performance on the field. Many legendary cricketers have had some crazy superstitions in the past.
In this article, we will look at the four reported superstitions that the Indian cricket team vice-captain follows blindly before every match.
Rohit Sharma drinks coffee before every match
As per zeenews.com, the Mumbai Indians skipper always drinks a cup of coffee before entering the field as he believes that drinking coffee improves his performance with the bat.
Rohit Sharma always calls his wife before entering the field
Another superstition that The Hitman has is closely related to his wife. Rohit Sharma reportedly calls his wife Ritika Sajdeh on every match day because he believes that talking to her on the phone brings good luck to him.
Another superstition connected to his wife Ritika Sajdeh
Rohit Sharma believes that his wife Ritika is his lucky charm. One can even agree to that belief because the couple got married in 2015 and Rohit’s performances have been extraordinary since then. Many fans would have noticed that Ritika always keeps her fingers crossed whenever Rohit comes out to bat. She keeps the fingers crossed until Rohit reaches the 100-runs mark.
Rohit Sharma always keeps his right leg on the field first
Rohit Sharma always enters the field with his right leg, another superstition that the former Deccan Chargers player brings good luck to him. As per sources, Sharma also finds a soothing spot on the ground and whenever he comes under pressure, he goes to that part of the field and relaxes. Perhaps, this could be the reason why Rohit has won 4 IPL trophies in the last 7 years!
