Rohit Sharma survives injury scare, Rohit Sharma smiled after the ball hit him and Ishan Kishan also gave a smile to the skipper.
Ishan Kishan’s shot bludgeoned Rohit Sharma’s pads during the current IPL 2023 match between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The youthful player hit a powerful ball that went straight to the non-striker’s end. But even from the outset of the game, Rohit almost suffered an injury at the hands of his own teammate. After the ball struck him, both Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma grinned at the captain.

Rohit Sharma, the normal skipper of MI, was able to play as an impact player in the previous game while he was suffering from a “stomach bug” and was included in the starting XI for today’s encounter against SRH.
