Mumbai Indians (MI) punished their star players Tilak Varma, Will Jacks and Raj Angad Bawa for apparently turning up late by asking them to wear unique MI-themed superhero costumes with capes. All three players appeared to take it up quite sportingly, though, posing for the camera and being pleased with audiences clicking their photos, while also involving other teammates, including Suryakumar Yadav.
MI posted a video of those moments with a hilarious caption, saying, ‘Late ho gaye ki punishment suit toh pehenna padega! 🦸♂ And uski reel toh banegi hi 😂📹’ (You will have to wear the punishment suit if you could have got late, and we’ll definitely make a reel out of it). Watch the video here:
This happened last 12 months, too, when Ishan Kishan got late for a gathering and needed to wear the embarrassing suit.
In the continuing season, MI are coming off arguably their best match of IPL 2025. They beat Chennai Super Kings by nine wickets on the Wankhede Stadium, chasing 177 in lower than 16 overs, to leap to number six within the points table and earn an enormous boost to their NRR.
It was their third win in a row, arrange by former skipper Rohit Sharma (76 not out) and Suryakumar Yadav (68 not out), who tore apart Chennai Super Kings.
Chasing a below-par goal, the hosts faced absolutely no difficulties on a batting-friendly surface in swatting away the challenge as they went over the road making 177 for one to win by greater than 4 overs to spare, and take a leap to sixth spot within the points table.
Rohit capitalised on anything short from the pacers within the powerplay and swept with command against the CSK spinners to notch up his maiden fifty of the season, which got here off 33 balls.
On a six-hitting spree, Rohit finished at 76 not out off 45 balls with 4 fours and 6 hits over the fence.
Suryakumar (68 off 30 balls, 5x4s, 6x6s) produced probably the most fluent knock on this season with the No. 3 batter being immaculate in clearing the leg-side boundaries in addition to together with his compelling sweep shots against the spinners.
