[WATCH] MI reveal jersey for IPL 2023 with engaging video that captures the spirit of Mumbai
Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday, March 10, unveiled their jersey for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season on their official social media handles. As per the franchise’s official website, the jersey, conceptualized by designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil, captures the essence of Mumbai in the iconic blue and gold colors.
Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the T20 league, having won the tournament five times. However, they had a disastrous season last year, finishing at the bottom of the points table.
On Friday, the official Twitter handle of Mumbai Indians shared an engaging video to announce the launch of their jersey for the upcoming IPL season.
The clip captures the essence of being a Mumbaikar, from traveling in crowded local trains to grabbing a vada pav and, of course, playing a game of cricket. MI uploaded the video with the caption:
“मुंबईची 𝗷𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘆 with मुंबईची 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴… now 𝕃𝕀𝕍𝔼💙” (Mumbai’s jersey with Mumbai’s feeling).”
