Though the Mumbai Indians team were not practising on the eve of their match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday evening, MI opener Rohit Sharma spent a good amount of time, batting.
Unfortunately though, one of the groundsman, Siban Biswas, 27, got injured by a Rohit shot and the opener immediately rushed to check on him.
"When Rohit Sharma sir told us to remove the off-side net, we did so and stood at the side. Just then while I was wrapping the ripe and not paying attention to the players nearby, the ball hit me on my left knee. Rohit sir immediately came and inquired about the injury, but I told him to continue batting and not to bother. Yet, he returned with an ice pack and also sent someone to give me some medicine and a spray to put on my leg," Biswas told mid-day on Sunday.
Despite the injury and understandable pain though, the interaction with the superstar cricketer brought a smile to Biswas's face.
"It was mixed feelings... though my knee was in pain, but at the same time, it feels good because I got a handshake with Rohit sir," added Biswas.
