Mumbai Indians teammates Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya seem to be basking in the excitement of the brand-new IPL season, set to launch on March 22 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Roughly 10 days before Mumbai Indians' first match of the season, the three seasoned campaigners starred in a commercial released by the tournament's official broadcasters.
In a 30-second video, Sharma, Suryakumar as well as captain Hardik Pandya can be seen flexing their IPL title collection so far and how they intend to add another trophy to their portfolio by winning the impending 2025 edition.

The commercial, as shared by Star Sports on their social media handles, starts off by Suryakumar Yadav hinting to get a tattoo of all his IPL trophies. Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya jokingly responds about he himself will not be able to do the same because he “will not have any space left” to inscribe his five trophies.
Rohit Sharma, one of the most decorated players in the history of the tournament, reciprocates the sentiment by saying that while he has six titles, he fully intends to add a seventh one to his collection through the upcoming IPL 2025 season.
It is worth noting that Rohit Sharma has won six IPL titles, including five as captain of the Mumbai Indians franchise and one as a young member of the now-defunct Deccan Chargers team back in 2009. Suryakumar Yadav bagged three titles in his career, including one for the KKR back in 2014 before adding two more to his portfolio, both with the Mumbai Indians under the leadership of former skipper Rohit Sharma.
Charismatic Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya won four of his five IPL trophies as a player for Mumbai Indians between the years 2015 and 2021. The cricketer subsequently led Gujarat Titans to victory in the IPL 2022 season.
Mumbai Indians, the joint-most successful IPL team alongside CSK with five titles, won the last of its trophies back in IPL 2020. Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya will now take centerstage for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 from March 23 onwards for their opening match against CSK in Chennai.
