Indian Premier League’s most successful franchise Mumbai Indians launched a gaming chair on April 5 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 chair is 45k, Mumbai Indians announced a welcome offer for early buyers and kept the price at INR 29,999 for a limited time.

While Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians has been the most successful franchise in the history of IPL, the last two seasons have been terrible for their team. Mumbai Indians also lost their first IPL 2023 game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2.
Mumbai Indians picked wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan for a massive INR 15.25 crore in the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, he couldn’t 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, Mumbai Indians 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. The failure of their expensive players didn’t go well with their fans.
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. Rohit Sharma and MI team management will expect to make a comeback in the game against CSK in order to win back the trust of their fans.
