After a dismal performance against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians players found themselves in a lighthearted yet amusing situation. Ishan Kishan, Kumar Kartikeya, and two other teammates were spotted wearing superhero jumpsuits, which is a quirky punishment for being late to team meetings.

The Tradition Unveiled

Known for their innovative approach, Mumbai Indians have a tradition of penalising players who arrive late to team meetings by making them wear humorous jumpsuits. The sight of Kishan, Kartikeya, and their teammates donning the colourful attire added a touch of levity to the team’s departure from Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians captured and shared the moment on social media, garnering attention and amusement from fans. The video showcasing the players in their “punishment jumpsuits” quickly circulated online, with fans reacting to the franchise’s lighthearted gesture.

While Mumbai Indians dealt with their post-match ritual, Rajasthan Royals celebrated a resounding victory in the IPL encounter. Pace bowler Trent Boult emerged as the star performer, claiming three crucial wickets for just 22 runs to dismantle the Mumbai Indians’ batting lineup.

Mumbai Indians’ Struggle Continues

Despite Hardik Pandya’s captaincy and a valiant effort with the bat, Mumbai Indians succumbed to their third defeat of the season, remaining at the bottom of the IPL points table. Pandya acknowledged the team’s challenging night and emphasised the need for improvement in their performance going forward.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag showcased his batting prowess yet again, scoring an unbeaten 54 to guide his team to victory. Parag’s stellar innings, complemented by Yuzvendra Chahal’s effective leg-spin bowling, propelled Rajasthan Royals to their third win of the season.

As the IPL season progresses, Mumbai Indians will seek to bounce back from their recent setbacks and regain momentum in the tournament. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals will aim to build on their success and maintain their winning streak as they continue their campaign in pursuit of IPL glory.
