Rohit Sharma was once again hailed by the fans and called a true leader after he met Musheer Khan, who recently met with a near-fatal car accident on the Purvanchal Expressway.

Musheer Khan is the younger brother of India Test player Sarfaraz Khan and he was travelling to Lucknow from Azamgarh when he met with an accident and suffered a fracture in his neck. The talented Mumbai batter was on his way to play the Irani Cup match against Rest of India at the Ekana Stadium.

His brother Sarfaraz Khan smashed a double hundred in the match as Mumbai lifted the Irani Cup after 27 years. After hitting the double ton, Sarfaraz had said that 'one hundred was for him, and the other for his brother'.

Sarfaraz Khan was part of the Rohit Sharma-led Indian Test squad, but was released on time to take part in the Irani Cup match for Mumbai.
