Ishan Kishan hit a shot that bludgeoned Rohit Sharma’s pads

During the ongoing IPL 2023 fixture between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Ishan Kishan hit a shot that bludgeoned Rohit Sharma’s pads. It was a smashing hit from the youngster which went directly to the non-striker’s end. However, Rohit nearly survived an injury scare right at the start of the match at the hands of his own teammate. Rohit Sharma smiled after the ball hit him and Ishan Kishan also gave a smile to the skipper.

MI's regular skipper Rohit Sharma returned to the playing XI in the match against SRH today after featuring as an Impact Player in the previous game where he was down with “stomach bug”.
