Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya displayed his photography skills as he documented pictures from the training session ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Monday.
In a video posted by Mumbai Indians on their social media accounts, Pandya asks Kieron Pollard-Jos Buttler, Tim David, and Ravichandran Ashwin to pose for the camera and they oblige. He starts the proceedings by asking the cameraman, “hain na ismein? Roll to khatam nai hoga!”

It turned out to be a fun-filled session between the two franchises. But the fans started trolling Pandya for Mumbai Indians poor run under his captaincy in the IPL 2024.
“Thusara ko, 7 match hogye fir bhi nhi khilaya 10th exam vale bache ko, 2 match khila diye waaaaaaaaaa,” one of the fans said.
“On behalf of true MI fans this is a request to include Nuwan thushara in playing 11 🙏🏻 💙💙💙,” another fan said.
Mumbai Indians will be looking for their second consecutive win in the away match against Rajasthan Royals. The franchise won their last match against Punjab Kings by nine runs. The five-time champions are currently placed at the sixth spot on the IPL 2024 points table. A win will help them to stay alive in the race for the IPL 2024 playoffs.
Meanwhile, the hosts have made a fine start to the season as they currently lead the IPL 2024 points table with six wins in seven matches. The Sanju Samson-led side will be aiming for their third win in a row.
