It's getting closer. Getting the feels already, Paltan? The second batch of our players have touched down at the team hotel. 

Piyush Chawla: The master bamboozler is here, and he's disguised his googly just as tactfully in his bags. 

Duan Jansen: He's here, all 6 feet 8 inches of him, ready to check in for his maiden IPL outing. 

Dewald Brevis: The no-look six-hitteris is looking sharp, and after nearly a year, has reunited with his bestie in Tilak Varma. 

Arjun Tendulkar: Fresh from a century on First Class debut, he's all set to conquer the Wankhede with his all-round skills 

Vishnu Vinod: From the coast of Kerala to the coast of Mumbai, he's sure to feel at home by the Arabian sea.

Shams Mulani: Our local lad, carrying a truckload of wickets in those suitcases of his from the recent Ranji season.

In case you missed it, here's who checked in yesterday (March 17). Our batch of 2023 is here: hungry and ready to hunt. Come on, let's make sure we give it our everything! You have 16 days to go ..
