The much-awaited 16th edition of the Indian T20 League is nearing, and the fans are super excited to see how things pan out. The teams and players have also begun to prepare for the upcoming season. Players such as Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni have also begun filming promotional videos for the tournament. Rohit Sharma has also joined the party now.
In a video that has been doing rounds on the internet, the Indian skipper was seen dancing to the theme of the new promo for the Indian T20 League 2023. The official broadcasters of the tournament, Star Sports published the video on Twitter with the caption, “Groove on the #ShorOn hook step!”

In the meantime, the 35-year-old will be looking to get good results in the cash-rich league this time. The Mumbai team had a terrible season the last time around. They were at the bottom of the points table with just four wins in the 14 league games that they played.
The most successful team in the tournament will be without their premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. He recently got surgery in New Zealand and is set to miss out on playing cricket for a few months. Bumrah has not played any competitive game in the past six months.
On the other hand, Jofra Archer, who missed out on the last season, will be returning to the team in the 2023 season. He is expected to take charge of the bowling unit for Mumbai this time around.
