Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Ishan Kishan joined the Mumbai Indians camp on Wednesday. The wicketkeeper-batter was so far unavailable for the Tests series against South Africa and England and didn’t play a single game of the Ranji Trophy 2024 while his prolonged absence led to his snub from the BCCI central contract.
But shrugging off all the setbacks, Kishan is set to play for the Mumbai Indians under the leadership of the newly appointed captain Hardik Pandya. On Wednesday, he checked in to the team hotel but received a scary surprise upon his arrival.

The caption of the Instagram post read, “Dekh liya, team hotel mein aate hi bottle flip karne ka natija (Have you seen the consequence of doing bottle flips after reaching the team hotel?)” The video created a buzz among many Mumbai Indians fans, who marked their reactions in the comment section.

Apart from the fictional video, Kishan joined the training session as well and sweated it out in the nets. He was seen in a great nick as he was middling almost every ball he faced in the nets.

Before losing his BCCI contract, Ishan Kishan last featured in a T20I series against Australia on home soil in November last year. He was part of a multi-format tour of South Africa but returned to India midway.
The keeper-batter then represented the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) team at the DY Patil T20 tournament in Mumbai last month. Kishan is expected to return to action when Mumbai Indians take on last season’s runners-up Gujarat Titans in the opening match of the 2024 IPL on March 24.
