Mumbai Indians, the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, have regained their confidence after a dismal start to the 2024 season. Winning three of their last four matches, the team has shed the shadow of their initial hat-trick of defeats. This newfound confidence is evident in the light-hearted moments shared during practice sessions.
In a recent video posted on social media, MI captain Hardik Pandya transformed into a cameraman, capturing candid shots of his teammates and even the Rajasthan Royals players. With a DSLR camera in hand, Hardik called out the names of players, ensuring they were in focus for his lens.
This playful moment highlights the camaraderie within the MI camp, which has been instrumental in their recent resurgence. Hardik, who replaced Rohit Sharma as captain this season, has brought a fresh perspective to the team.
MI’s recent victories against Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Punjab Kings have propelled them to seventh place in the IPL standings. With six points from three wins in seven matches, the team needs to maintain consistency to secure a playoff berth.
Their upcoming match against the Rajasthan Royals on Monday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur will be a crucial test. A win would further boost MI’s confidence and strengthen their playoff aspirations.
