Rohit had reportedly travelled to Jamnagar along with his family to celebrate his daughter Samaira’s birthday. The Nagpur-born cricketer returned to Mumbai following the private family event when the incident took place. 

On the cricketing front, the star batter is set to return to action later this month when Team India will take on a three-match ODI series against New Zealand, with the first ODI scheduled on January 11 in Vadodara.

The right-handed batsman enjoyed an impressive 2025 as the no. 1-ranked ODI batter in the ICC rankings. He averaged 50 in the format last year with two centuries and six fifties and won the Champions Trophy as a captain, leading the charge with a Player of the Match performance in the finals.
