The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Monday that Rohit had travelled to Mumbai the previous day “to attend to his wife who has delivered a baby girl”.
A statement on Twitter added: “The BCCI congratulates Rohit on the beginning of a new chapter in his life.”
Rohit made an unbeaten 63 in the first innings of the third Test in Melbourne, which India won convincingly to move 2-1 up in the four-match series and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
He is set to return to Australia on January 8 to link up with India’s one-day international squad.
The Sydney Test starts on January 3, with fit-again all-rounder Hardik Pandya a likely candidate to take Rohit’s spot.
