India suffered a frustrating 244-run defeat against New Zealand in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval, despite Rohit Sharma's efforts to bring some light to the situation. In a video circulating on social media, the Indian captain was seen playing hide and seek with his children, Samaira and Ahaan, during the match. Rohit and his wife Ritika were watching the game with their children when the cricketer noticed them from the pavilion balcony.

He then playfully hid behind a dressing room doorway before peeking out towards his children, attempting to entertain them. His children responded with smiles and laughter, while Ritika also appeared amused by her husband's playful behavior. The heartwarming moment was captured on camera and shared on social media, where fans appreciated seeing a different side of the Indian batting star.

This uplifting scene came during a disappointing day for the Indian team, as they struggled to chase New Zealand's imposing total of 333. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and captain Shreyas Iyer were all dismissed for ducks in the opening over, leading to India's downfall. The result left India with a series deficit of 2 to 1, with the final ODI scheduled for Sunday.
