Players like Ishan Kishan, Pradeep Sangwan, Rahul Chahar and a few others partook in the camp that kicked off a few days back.
Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Indian’ Head Coach, was present in that camp as well. He had an early arrival and joined the team right from day one to oversee the preparations for the coming season.
