Mumbai Indians Players Punks Team Admin by Dumping Him in the Swimming Pool

A funnier and lighter moment from the Mumbai Indians team controlled social media. There is a viral clip where Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav played a funny prank on the team's admin. The three players teamed up in lifting the oblivious admin and dumped him straight into the hotel swimming pool. The lads could not stop giggling over the humorous clip, which turned viral on social media. The light-hearted prank showed that the team was a good-natured unit and had the ability to have a good time regardless of professional pressures of cricket.

While the team had a joyous moment away from the cricket field, their performance on the field has not been as joyous. Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians started their 2025 season in a poor way with loss against Chennai Super Kings. The team has now kept a unwanted record of losing their opening match for the 13th consecutive season. Mumbai Indians had last won their season opener in 2012. Despite this peculiar trend, the team has won five IPL titles since then, indicating that a slow start does not always predict the rest of their season.

In their first match of IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians were facing the formidable Chennai Super Kings team at the Chepauk Stadium. MI batted first and was struggling as CSK bowlers Noor Ahmed and Khaleel Ahmed destroyed their batting line-up. Noor dismissed four batsmen for just 18 runs, and Khaleel dismissed three for 29. So, Mumbai could score only 155 for 9 in their 20-over allocation. Their prime-order batsmen struggled as Rohit Sharma could not score and was dismissed for a four-ball duck. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav attempted to steady the innings, with Tilak making 31 off 25 balls and Suryakumar scoring 29 off 26. Their inputs were not sufficient enough to make a competitive score.

During Chennai’s run chase, their young star Rachin Ravindra played a composed innings, scoring an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls. He guided his team to an easy four-wicket victory. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was also pivotal in the team's performance, registering a blistering 53 from 26 deliveries. On the other side, Mumbai Indians discovered some optimism through their fresh debutant Vignesh Puthur. The 24-year-old left everyone's jaws agape after he took three crucial wickets for 32 runs, leaving his team with a chance to stage a comeback. CSK still had the situation under control during the match and easily won.

One of the major losses for Mumbai Indians in this match was the absence of their regular captain Hardik Pandya. He was suspended for one game after being penalized for a match in the final league game of IPL 2024. His presence would have enhanced the performance of the team. Another major loss for MI was their best pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is recovering from a back injury. His absence has created a gap in their bowling arsenal, and the team will miss his experience in the matches to come too.

Despite this shaky start to their IPL campaign, Mumbai Indians still have sufficient games remaining to make up for it. They will next face Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match will be crucial for MI as they will look to move past their initial loss and achieve their first victory of the season. Fans will be looking for things to get better from seasoned players like Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav.

While Mumbai Indians will seek to improve their game, their off-field moments of fun keep cricket enthusiasts engaged. Their team admin being tossed into the swimming pool has been a treat to watch, with many people laughing about it. Such moments bring into perspective that cricket is not just about intense rivalry but also about camaraderie and fun. The team cohesion at MI is still strong, and their capacity to enjoy themselves as a team could very well be the secret to their success in the long term.
