Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians cricket team, was practicing when he accidentally hit ground staff member Siban Biswas with a ball. Biswas, who was wrapping a rope and not paying attention, was struck on the left knee. Immediately after the incident, Rohit rushed to check on him, despite being encouraged to continue batting. He returned with an ice pack and arranged for medicine for Biswas, who expressed gratitude for the interaction, despite feeling pain. The Mumbai Indians, despite their successful history with five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles, have faced challenges in recent seasons, finishing last in 2024 and struggling in 2025. Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull pointed out that the team's decline is not solely the players' fault, urging the franchise's leadership to take responsibility for their decisions impacting the team's performance.
