On Wednesday, April 30, Rohit Sharma celebrated his 38th birthday. The fans across the globe took to social media platforms to wish their idol on his special day. In the latest events, several media houses published interviews with Rohit. Meanwhile, a clip has been doing rounds on the internet where the India skipper revealed why his parents are absent from stadiums.

Usually, Rohit's wife Ritika Sajdeh and his children are present in the stadiums, but his parents are not spotted. In the latest events, Rohit revealed that his parents get nervous when they come to the ground and that is why they prefer to watch it from home. 

Rohit Sharma Breaks Silence On His Parents Absence

"Usually they prefer watching matches from home because they get too nervous at stadiums. They don’t like leaving the house too much,” Rohit said in an interview with journalist Vimal Kumar.

However, Rohit added that he has instructed his parents that once the stand that is being named after him gets inaugurated, they would have to be present at the Wankhede Stadium. 

“I told them that when a stand with my name is inaugurated at the Wankhede Stadium, they have to come and sit in it,” Rohit Sharma said.

MCA To Honour Rohit With A Stand After Him

The Mumbai Cricket Association decided to honour Rohit with a stand in his name at the Wankhede, renaming the Divecha Pavilion Level 3 stand.

"A stand being named after me at Wankhede—it was emotional. That ground is everything to me. I wasn’t even allowed inside it as a kid. 20+ years ago, we weren’t allowed to enter. And now, to have a stand in my name—that’s huge. Wankhede is where I’ve grown. I’ve practiced, I’ve struggled, I’ve been scolded there. It’s emotional," he added.

Rohit , who is celebrating his 38th birthday, will next be seen in action on Thursday, May 1, when Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Rajasthan Royals.
