Rohit queried about Pandya's new hairstyle and Bumrah's yorkers.
Ahead of the 11th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah have become the talk of the town as the trio indulged in a funny banter with their franchise Mumbai Indians.
On Thursday (March 22), the three-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians posted a tweet on their official Twitter page which read: "Paltan, an exciting update is heading your way. Prepare yourself to welcome new faces in our team. Stay tuned! #CricketMeriJaan".

Out of nowhere, MI skipper Rohit Sharma replied to the tweet, saying: "What do you mean by new faces? Why don’t you guys inform me?"

The chitchat didn’t end there as Rohit asked for his bullets after checking the DM. His post read: "I’ve checked my DMs. I am fine with these new faces and it’s really cool. But where are my bullets?"

After some minutes, MI all-rounder Hardik Pandya also joined the fun when Rohit queried about his hairstyle.
"And what’s wrong with @hardikpandya7’S hair? Why is he on fire?" Sharma wrote.

Later, the MI skipper expressed his desire to know more about his troops by tagging the ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah and power-hitter Kieron Pollard.
“what about @JaspritBumrah93, @KieronPollard55 and the rest of the boys?,” Rohit wrote.

Bumrah comforted his skipper with a positive message that read: “And I am sharpening the toe crusher. #CricketMeriJaan”.
