Mumbai Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was engaged in a hilarious Twitter banter with his Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Mumbai is now gearing up for the eleventh edition of the cash-rich league.

Rohit has a long association with Mumbai and has led the team in three IPL titles. He will want to replicate his form in the brand new edition.

Mumbai Indians posted a simple post on social media which read:

“Paltan, an exciting update is heading your way. Prepare yourself to welcome new faces in our team. Stay tuned! #CricketMeriJaan“

Skipper Rohit took note of this tweet and quickly asked them why haven’t they informed him about this.

“What do you mean by new faces? Why don’t you guys inform me?” Rohit replied.
