XtraTime Web Desk: Indian Premier League (IPL) team Mumbai Indians took a novel way to keep the discipline in the team. They took the step for the players who don’t follow the regular gym session schedules. The players have to wear the blue emoji jumpsuit.
The Mumbai Indians wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan, Anukul Roy and Rahul Chahar was the first victim of this incredible punishment as they missed the gym session.
Mumbai Indians posted a video on their Facebook page and wrote: “Look who travelled in Emoji kits this time around?”
“I was told about it two days earlier, but I completely forgot. So, I missed my gym session,” Ishan Kishan said.
“I’m feeling quite awkward, but still…..That’s why I haven’t taken off my sunglasses inside the airport. I don’t want to make eye contact with anyone. I won’t make this mistake again. I will make sure of that,” he added.
“It’s a punishment for reaching late,” said Roy.
“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,” Chahar said.
Though Mumbai Indians are not in a very good position to qualify for the Play offs as they are second from the bottom in this edition of IPL. They just got four points from eight matches.
