With the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) right around the corner, all the teams are leaving no stones unturned in their training, and Mumbai Indians are no exception. The four-time champions have been hitting the training ground hard lately and are looking determined to retain their title.

Recently, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah got involved in a hilarious banter on Twitter which left the fans in splits. Mumbai Indians Skipper Rohit Sharma Goes Down Memory Lane, Remembers Gully Cricket Days.

Dream11, who are the title sponsors of IPL 2020, released an advertisement campaign where many prominent players were seen playing street cricket aka gully cricket. Rohit and Bumrah also featured in the commercial, but the duo didn’t find it easy in adapting the gully cricket rules. The MI captain started the banter by posting a clip where Bumrah paid the penalty for bowling too fast. The speedster was dismissed after bowling just three balls. “@Jaspritbumrah93 Half over mein retired hurt?” wrote Rohit while sharing the TVC. MI Team Profile for IPL 2020: Mumbai Indians Squad in UAE, Stats & Records and Full List of Players.
