Xtra Time Web Desk: Five-time former IPL champions Mumbai Indians' success has revolved around team discipline and camaraderie between the players, support staff and management. The franchise has always been known for their unique methods of keeping the team spirit high. Recently, they shared a video on their social media handle where they introduced "The Jumpsuit Club" - a club for players who arrive late for team meetings, departures and net sessions.

Australian all rounder Cameron Green was one of the cricketers who was punished by the franchise for being late. Akash Madhwal and Nehal Wadhera were also punished. The video showed showed MI bowler Akash Madhwal, dressed in a blue jumpsuit and confessing that he had overslept and was late for the departure.

Here is the video:

Nehal Wadhera, another MI player, was also shown dressed in the blue jumpsuit, and Jason Behenderoff was seen laughing at him. The rest of the video shows Cameron Green, the MI all-rounder, trying to fit into the jumpsuit. However, it was too tight for him, so he had to chop off the full sleeves to make it a half-sleeve jumpsuit.

Nehal Wadhera explained the reason for his punishment, stating that he had come to the team meeting wearing slippers instead of shoes. The video ended with Akash Madhwal saying that he had learned his lesson and would not be late next time.

The Mumbai Indians' unique punishment seems to have been successful in keeping their players disciplined and punctual. This creative approach to handling tardiness and ensuring team discipline highlights the innovative thinking and leadership that the Mumbai Indians have become known for over the years.
