 “I am not thinking about the past. I have had a good season and I am looking in good form. Hopefully, things will fall in place,” the Mumbai batsman, who averaged 53.58 last season in domestic cricket, had told Sportstar before the start of the IPL 2019.

However, he finally got his time in the limelight, as Lad received his MI cap as he replaced an injured Rohit Sharma, as Kieron Pollard captained the side.

Mumbai Indians have played five games and won three and play an important match against Kings XI Punjab in Wankhede and Lad will hope to contribute in some manner to the win of his team.

Twitter was amazed at Lad’s inclusion in the MI team against KXIP and shared some tweets. Here are some of them.
