Rohit Sharma, India's cricket captain, has reached out to check on young Mumbai cricketer Musheer Khan, who is dealing with an emotional and difficult time following a horrific car crash that involved his father, Naushad Khan. Sarfaraz Khan took to social media to share pictures of Rohit's meeting with his family.
Musheer Khan, one of Mumbai cricket's promising talents, grabbed attention with an 181 off 373 balls knock for India A against India B in the initial round of the Duleep Trophy. After thriving under the shadows of elder brother Sarfaraz Khan, Musheer finally made a name for himself with consistent performances in several domestic tournaments.

However, life took a tragic turn when Musheer Khan and his dad, Nushad Khan, met with a car accident while travelling to Lucknow. While Naushad escaped unhurt, Musheer injured his neck, which ruled him out of the Irani Cup 2024.
Meanwhile, as the young cricketer recovers from a haunting event of his life, Indian captain Rohit Sharma reached out to the Khan family to check upon the well-being of fellow Mumbaikar Musheer Khan. Sarfaraz Khan shared the picture of Rohit with his dad and brother on his Instagram handle.
Indeed, Rohit's outreach exemplifies the strong sense of camaraderie within Indian cricket, where senior players look out for emerging talent. This moment also shows the importance of emotional support during such personal crises, especially when careers are at a crossroads.
