IPL franchise Mumbai Indians' owners Nita Ambani and Mukesh Ambani on Monday celebrated the franchise's decade-long association with the Indian Premier League by throwing a grand party at their residence in Mumbai.
Pegged as 'MI10 Igniting Passion For 10 Years', the Mumbai Indians' 10-year celebration saw a number of past and present Mumbai Indians' cricketers, support staff and management in attendance, to mark the occasion.
Several Mumbai Indians players including Jos Butler, Tim Southee, Krunal and Hardik Pandya and others attended the party.
Mumbai Indians' fielding coach Jonty Rhodes, ex-Mumbai Indians players Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, former chief mentor of Mumbai Indians Anil Kumble, cricketer Harbhajan Singh who was accompanied by his wife Geeta Basra and daughter Hinaya, Shikhar Dhawan were also present at the event.
Not just celebrities from the field of cricket but also from Bollywood graced the occasion. Actress Deepika Padukone, Kiara Advani, John Abraham, photographer-turned-producer Atul Kasbekar and others were in attendance at the event.
Despite it being a star studded affair, the one person who stole the show was cricketer Harbhajan Singh's daughter Hinaya. Dressed in a bright yellow frock, the little munchkin looked absolutely as ease when photographers clicked her pictures. Seems like there's another star in the making.
Nita and Mukesh felicitated cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga for their invaluable contribution to the team, a media release said.
MI is the only franchise amongst the IPL founding members, which has three members being part of the club since its inception, with Harbhajan and Malinga forming the core of the team while Tendulkar continuing as the 'icon', post his retirement.
