Mumbai Indians management found an innovative way to cheer its supporters, among whom were underprivileged kids, at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. They had clowns in place of sizzling cheerleaders for their match against Pune Warriors India.
So, whenever the ball crossed the boundary rope or a wicket fell, the clowns would take the podium and do their ball-juggling act, something which the kids liked most.
