The Mumbai Indians are back in practice mode after having a good time on the beach in Abu Dhabi and it is Captain Rohit Sharma who is leading the charge. In a new video posted by the Mumbai Indians, Rohit can be seen practicing under the lights.
In the video, the ‘Hitman’ walks up to a roulette wheel and hits a huge six that goes past the practice area and ends up hitting a moving bus. The audio from the video clip refers to someone asking whether Rohit ‘broke the bus window or not’. As measured in the video, Rohit’s blow appears to have traveled 95 meters before hitting the bus.

Rohit Sharma will lead the charge of the defending champions as they face last year’s runner-up and fierce rivals Chennai Super Kings in the opening tournament.
Dhoni’s CSK has also arrived at the training ground, but they have taken a severe blow as two of their players are part of a 13-member group that tested positive for Covid-19 after landing in the United Arab Emirates. Not only that, veteran Team India cricketers Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh have withdrawn from the tournament, although reports suggest Raina could return.

The Mumbai Indians will also be left without their record player and bowling leader Lasith Malinga, who has also decided to skip the tournament.
The Mumbai Indians have an advantage over CSK, having beaten them in several key matchups over the years and will be looking to have an advantage in the tournament.
