Ritika Sajdeh, Dhanashree Verma to Athiya Shetty – Cricketer Wives Who Posted VIRAL ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ in Support of Palestine

Mumbai: While the whole world is reacting to the atrocities on Palestinians by Israel in Rafah, Indian cricketer wives are not too far behind as they too are taking a stand for the ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ movement. Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika was one of the first to post a story on Instagram regarding this. A couple of hours later she deleted the post following immense backlash that she received. KL Rahul’s wife Athiya Shetty, Yuzvendra Chahal’s wife Dhanashree Verma and Shivam Dube’s wife were among the other cricketer wives who showed support towards the Palestinians.
‘All Eyes on Rafah’ is a phrase that refers to the ongoing genocide in Rafah, Gaza, with over 1.4 million Palestinians seeking shelter.
