Mumbai Indians players were looking like they would leave no stone unturned as they prepared for their upcoming IPL 2023 Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Rohit Sharma’s forces are set to lock horns with Krunal Pandya’s men for a place in Qualifier 2 where Gujarat Titans await.
Hardik Pandya’s side lost to Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 meaning they will take on the winners of the LSG vs MI clash for a place in the final of IPL 2023.
Ahead of the blockbuster clash between MI and LSG, Mumbai Indians players were seen sweating it out in the gym and they also received some special gifts. Every player received a ‘card’ custom-made for them which was very similar to the standard playing cards although the custom-made cards featured MI players on them.
The likes of Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera were delighted to be featured on the custom-made playing cards. MI’s official Instagram handle shared glimpses of the same, while the clip also showed the players and batting coach Keiron Pollard sweating it hard in the gym.
Later, the players and Pollard also lined up with young girls for a picture in Chennai ahead of the crucial Eliminator against LSG.
