Franchise owners know perfectly well how to please their customers/fans and the Mumbai Indians are among the leaders in this context. At the Wankhede Stadium on Monday for their first home game of IPL 2024, MI offered a host of freebies to their fans. While the regular free blue MI flags were in abundance, there were also free MI t-shirts being distributed at the entrance of most stands. The t-shirts were available in varied sizes ranging from S (small) right up to XXXL, all being handed out free. Fans could also play virtual cricket and win caps and other merchandise. “I have come for international cricket matches here before, but the IPL experience is totally different. While the rules are very strict during international games, where you can’t even take water bottles into the stands, IPL matches are a lot of fun as there are no such regulations,” Vikas Patil, 36, an IT professional, told mid-day. Some of the merchandise were at discounted rates too. “I purchased MI flip-flops for just Rs 699 here. It was for less than half the rate because the cost online is Rs 1,499,” revealed Rajesh Jadhav, 19, a college student.
