Ahead of IPL 2023, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma had fun during their commercial shoot for Mumbai Indians (MI) in Mumbai. The trio enjoyed quality moments while filming; Mumbai Indians (MI) posted a humorous behind-the-scenes (BTS) video on Twitter with the caption:
“Paltan ke saath shoot ka BTS share karna toh banta hai boss. P.S. Ishan and Tilak Verma are still roaming around Mumbai.”
During the video, Yadav can be heard saying:
“Bhaada share hoyenga (Fare will be shared),” while trying to sound like a Mumbaikar.

Even captain Rohit Sharma could not contain his laughter as he watched his teammates work on their off-field project at the iconic Gateway of India in Mumbai. During the shoot, Kishan and Varma took a bike to explore the city, which was only available for filming purposes.
