It might be the off season, but that’s not stopping our boys in Blue and Gold from making waves. Well, that’s what Mumbai Indians is about, and we have plenty for you to munch on from both on and off the field. There’s a Duleep Trophy debut, an icon player signing, some cute family time, some training, some chilling..

Massively impressive Duleep showing

Anshul Kamboj was making his debut in the Duleep Trophy competition, along with the domestic heavyweights last week. But he was never overwhelmed by the occasion as he picked up a wicket in the very first over of the match. A match-haul of 3/96 and a winning start to his team - India C’s - campaign. What more can the 23-year-old pacer from Haryana ask for?

And now for some off-field fun

Ahead of a hectic season, Rohit Sharma seems to be making the most of his much-needed month-long break, training and relaxing in equal measure. Also, Angad Bumrah, our Boom Boom Express’ bundle of joy, has just turned one, and the proud parents celebrated his birthday in style. Speaking of fun, Greald Coetzee is on one such hiking expedition with his family to Drankensberg. Talk about recharging your batteries!
