There is no denying the fact that Mumbai Indians (MI) has been the most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and they recently launched a gaming chair worth 45k titled ‘World’s First Mumbai Indians Chair’. The Rohit Sharma-led franchise was hilariously trolled by netizens as the whopping price of the chair didn’t go well with social media users as it just looked like a normal chair.
The franchise took to Twitter to announce the official launch of the highly-priced chair. While the price of the chair is 45k, Mumbai Indians (MI) announced a welcome offer for early buyers and kept the price at INR 29,999 for a limited time.

How many chairs could you have disturbed for free with the amount spent on Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green.

Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians have witnessed terrible outings in the last two seasons for their team. They also lost their first IPL 2023 game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2. They bought the services of wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan for a massive INR 15.25 crore in the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, he failed to deliver as per his potential in the previous edition of IPL and was dismissed cheaply in the first game of IPL 2023 as well.

To further strengthen their side, MI bought Australian all-rounder Cameron Green for a whopping INR 17.5 crore. Cameron Green too failed to impress in their opening game of IPL 2023. A few social media users trolled Mumbai Indians saying that the franchise is trying to recover their losses from the auction by demanding an exorbitant price for a normal gaming chair named ‘World’s First Mumbai Indians Chair’.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will play their second game in IPL 2023 on April 8 against the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium.
