Rohit chose to propose to his lady love in a unique way, different from the traditional and over the top methods. The Mumbai Indians skipper drove his 28 year old fiancée Ritika from her Cuffe Parade residence in Mumbai to the Borivali Sports Club. There was a special reason for him to do so. According to a report on Dna.india.com, this was the ground where Rohit first played at the age of 11, and hence he chose to take Ritika there to propose to her as it held a special place for him. Further to reports, Rohit then popped the question post midnight by giving her a solitaire ring and said the magical words. Sharma was in his home town for Mumbai Indians’ match against Rajasthan Royals and he took this opportunity to ask his lady love for her hand.
