Mumbai Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings players met for a friendly chat as they prepared to clash in the IPL 2024 clash in Mullanpur on Thursday. Mumbai Indians top batsman Suryakumar Yadav’s conversation with Punjab Kings keeper Jitesh Sharma was the most eye-catching as the latter urged him to control his emotions while batting. Jitesh Sharma is undoubtedly one of the most destructive players playing today; However, he has been inconsistent and has not been able to match his performances in the last two seasons. On the contrary, Suryakumar is one of the most sought-after T20 players today and holds the top ranking as far as T20Is are concerned.

Speaking to Jitesh Sharma, Suryakumar said, as can be heard in the video uploaded by the official social media handle of Mumbai Indians: “Bhai bola hai aapko kitni baar. Jasbati nahi, jasbati nahi! Bat lete ho to tum 12 run maaran jaate ho (I told you many times not to let your emotions take over. When you pick up the bat, why do you try to score 12 runs)” Mumbai Indians in their head-to-head clash against Punjab Kings Ahead by a slight margin:

The five-time champions are currently in the bottom half of the table (9th place) with 2 wins from 4 matches. Punjab Kings are also almost in the same boat and they are one place ahead of Mumbai, having won 2 out of 4 matches. Hence, both the teams are in a must-win situation and are facing pressure to get their campaign back on track.
