Mumbai Indians' wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan brought some light-hearted moments to the team camp as he exposed his humorous side once again with a hilarious mimicry of the franchise's fast-bowling coach, Lasith Malinga. 

The entertaining moment was captured in a video shared by the team's official social media handle.

As the Mumbai Indians gear up for the upcoming IPL 2024 season, Kishan has joined the team camp, joining fellow players like newly appointed captain Hardik Pandya in the nets.

Under the guidance of MI coaches, including the legendary Malinga, players have been diligently training to prepare for the upcoming challenges.

In a fun-filled gesture, Kishan donned a wig and expertly imitated Malinga's iconic bowling action, much to the delight of the former Sri Lankan fast bowler who watched with amusement. 

The entertaining clip quickly went viral on social media, adding a touch of humour to the anticipation surrounding IPL 2024.

While Kishan's playful antics brought smiles to fans' faces, he recently faced scrutiny for missing Ranji Trophy matches despite the BCCI's directive for centrally contracted players to participate in domestic cricket. 

Recently excluded from the BCCI central contract list alongside Shreyas Iyer, Kishan reportedly utilized his time off to train with MI skipper Hardik Pandya in Baroda.

With aspirations of securing a spot in India's T20 World Cup squad, Kishan understands the importance of a standout performance in the IPL. However, competition for top-order positions is fierce, leaving him with a challenging task ahead.

The Mumbai Indians are set to kick off their IPL 2024 campaign against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on March 24 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. As Kishan is expected to open alongside Rohit Sharma and take on wicket-keeping duties, all eyes will be on him as he aims to make a huge impact for his team.
