Long-time headliner Ishan Kishan is relentlessly preparing for the new 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season with Mumbai Indians. Ahead of the start of the new season, Ishan shared a few words with the team’s fans in a video released by Mumbai Indians. In the video, Ishan gave a “message to the people” as the wicketkeeper-batsman and his teammates gear up for training ahead of the start of the T20 League Season 17.

“Message to people. Everybody is here to practice. But wherever they go, they shouldn’t throw water bottles everywhere. Try to keep the ground clean. Just do the little things and you’ll be on top of everything There has been improvement. Small changes are important and you should do this,” Kishan said in a video released by Mumbai Indians.

Ishan has often been in the news for his decision not to participate in the national team selections while also missing out on domestic cricket. He is yet to play a Ranji Trophy match for his state team Jharkhand, a decision that has seen him receive a lot of criticism from fans and the BCCI boss.

In November 2023, MI traded all-rounder Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in an all-cash deal through the trade window. The deal provides MI with the necessary funds to complete another all-cash deal with Gujarat Titans (GT) to acquire the services of Hardik Pandya.

The five-time Indian Premier League champion entered the mini-auction with one of the smallest purses in the field – Rs 17.75 crore.
