IPL 2018: Three MI players get a punishment and the reason is hilarious

The defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) are currently struggling to hold on to their trophy as they have won only a couple after playing 8 matches. They are on the verge of elimination and could well become the first team to be knocked out of the tournament this year. The franchise, however, seems to be strict with the discipline among the group which has employed an offbeat technique to make the players attend their gym sessions on time.

The players who don’t follow the schedule of the gym will be made to wear the Emoji’s kit of the Mumbai Indians (MI). The kit is full of blue with the emojis of all the players in the squad on it which looks totally funny. This seems to be a hilarious punishment and the first of its kind as three of their players also became the victim of the same.

Who are the players?

Ishan Kishan, Anukul Roy and Rahul Chahar were the first casualties of the punishment as they reached late to their respective gym sessions. The Mumbai Indians facebook handle posted the video of the three players wearing the jumpsuits as they admitted to their mistakes. “I was told about it two days earlier, but I completely forgot. So, I missed my gym session,” said Ishan Kishan who is the wicket-keeper and has played all the matches so far of the season.

Rahul Chahar gave more insights into the incident while saying, “Whoever is late will have to wear this special kit. I was late to the physio room. In fact, I never reached. That’s why I have been punished. On the last, we were told to wear jeans, but I wore my tracks. When it comes to punctuality, I am always 10 minutes early.”

As far as their on-field performances are concerned, both Rahul and Anukul are yet to play a game this year as their partner in crime has lost his form with the bat after setting the stage on fire in the early stages of the IPL.
