[WATCH]- Rohit Sharma Wins Hearts After Helping Injured Groundsman at Wankhede

Mumbai Indians star batter Rohit Sharma earned widespread praise after his thoughtful gesture toward an injured groundstaff member at Wankhede Stadium went viral on social media, particularly on X, on Wednesday, May 6.

Ahead of MI’s IPL 2026 clash against the Lucknow Super Giants, one of Rohit’s shots during a nets session accidentally struck a groundstaff member on the knee while he was working nearby. The incident quickly caught Rohit’s attention, and he stepped in to help.

Despite dealing with a hamstring injury himself, the veteran immediately halted practice and rushed over to check on the staff member, earning admiration for his humility and prompt response.

Rohit Sharma’s Kind Act Goes Viral

The groundstaff member had earlier shared how Rohit Sharma quickly came over and personally made sure he received medical care. Now, the Mumbai Indians have released a video on their official X handle, capturing the entire incident. In the clip, Rohit is seen asking the staff member to remove the net before attempting a lofted shot, which accidentally hit the Wankhede groundsman on the knee.

A visibly concerned Rohit immediately walked over to him, where other groundstaff and MI support staff had already gathered and were applying an ice pack to the injured area. Rohit Sharma was then seen instructing fellow groundstaff to help the injured worker sit on a chair and rest his leg on an ice box.

The groundsman received immediate first aid, including a spray and basic medical care, before being taken away for further treatment. The veteran batter later checked on him again and shook hands with the injured Wankhede Stadium staff member.

Beyond the game, it’s heart over everything 💙
