Watch: Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya Celebrate Holi With Mumbai Indians Teammates

The Mumbai Indians squad burst into a riot of colours as they celebrated one of the biggest Indian festivals on Monday. The players rejuvenated themselves by playing Holi together.

Some of MI’s biggest stars could be seen gripped by the Holi fever as they tossed colours at each other. Former MI captain Rohit Sharma was at his cheeky best as he sprayed water onto his teammates.

MI skipper Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, Piyush Chawla and Kumar Kartikeya Singh could be seen joining the action.

Overseas stars like Dewald Brevis and Romario Shepherd were also spotted in the mix. A series of clips of the celebrations were added by MI’s official account on Instagram.

In one of the snaps from the epic celebrations, MI also posted a hilarious photograph of Tilak and Brewis completely drenched in colours. In the snap, a smiling Tilak could be seen tossing a bucket of water in Brevis’ direction with both cricketers in wide smiles.

While the MI had a colourful celebrations, their start to the IPL 2024 campaign was far from the same. With a new skipper at their helm in Hardik Pandya, MI conceded a narrow six-run defeat to last season’s finalists Gujarat Titans on March 24.

The 2022 IPL winners were being led by Shubman Gill who assumed the role after Pandya’s departure to MI.

The said clash was held at the Narendra Modi Stadium and it began with MI winning the toss and electing to bowl first. A 31-run knock from Shubman Gill and 45 runs from Sai Sudharsan helped GT to 168/6.

MI lose Ishan Kishan for a four-ball duck in the chase.

Rohit Sharma and Brevis helped the side recover and the duo put them on a solid footing.

However, GT bowlers including Azmatullah Omarzai, Umesh Yadav, Spencer Johnson and Mohit Sharma put up a fine show to curb MI at 162 runs.

MI are next set to play the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. The contest will be played on SRH’s home turf at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
