Mumbai Indians (MI) have had some major buys on Tuesday at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 in Jaipur. They picked a mix of capped and uncapped players which would provide a perfect balance to the side which is a three-time title winner.

But above all, having Lasith Maling back in the hut as a player along with Yuvraj Singh’s purchase at the eleventh hour not only created a buzz on social media but also delighted MI icon and former skipper Sachin Tendulkar.

Master Blaster took to his official Twitter account to welcome the new entrants to the MI PALTAN. He also expressed his happiness to have Yuvraj and Malinga.
