New Delhi: The 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Mumbai Indians (MI) recently received a custom-made jersey from Triple H and on Thursday, the outfit returned the favour by sending a jersey to the reigning WWE Champion Jinder Mahal with his name on it.
Jinder posted a video with special message for Mumbai Indians after receiving the gift.
He recently became the 50th WWE Champion after defeating Randy Orton at Backlash. The Indo-Canadian professional wrestler duly thanked MI for gifting him the jersey that had the number 5 on the back, along with his name.
"Hello India, this is your WWE champion Jinder Mahal and I want to send a big thank you to the Mumbai Indians for sending me this custom jersey with my name on it. And I will wear it with pride. Cricket meri jaan!" Jinder said in the video posted by WWE's official Twitter account.
