In what is being seen as a team-bonding exercise after the challenging stay inside hotel rooms, Rohit Sharma’s men had a gala time at the ‘Team Room’ which is in sync with Mumbai Indians’ bio-secure bubble in the UAE.
The recreation center also has an indoor theatre, pool table, table tennis kits, lounge and other fun games to help the players relax during the course of IPL 2020.
In photos shared by Mumbai Indians, skipper Rohit Sharma, head coach Mahela Jayawardene, the Pandya brothers among others can be seen having fun at the Team Room. Hardik and Krunal were seen singing during the session while the likes of Dhawal Kulkarni and Suryakumar Yadav were spotted with their partners.
