Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya ditched tradition and brought back the streets-style swag — skipping the coin toss in favour of a classic gully cricket “hand toss” to decide who bats first.
In a light-hearted pre-nets moment, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik went old school — using the good ol’ hand flip instead of a coin.
After two fun attempts, SKY finally guessed right… but in a heartwarming gesture, he let Tilak take the first strike.
Pure gully cricket energy... from playing on the streets to starring in the IPL!
