Ahead of the Mumbai Indians' first match in the 2017 IPL against Rising Pune Supergiant, MI teammates Parthiv Patel and Jos Buttler engaged in some funny banter on Twitter, over a wicketkeeping drill. The duo exchanged a couple of tweets on the social networking site about each other's traits.

Mumbai Indians posted a video of wicketkeepers, Patel and Buttler, on social media where the two were involved in a wicketkeeping drill during the preseason preparations. In the drill, Patel is standing behind the stumps while Buttler is playing the role of a batsman.

The duo has been teammates for a while now, and the connection between the two was easily visible when Buttler reacted to the video tweeting, “@parthiv9 appealing for everything as usual!”

Patel weighed in with a response of his own tweeting, "And u were keep hitting the edge of the bat as usual.”

While this exchange is certain to bring a smile to the fans’ faces, more importantly, it’s great to see the bond that Buttler and Patel have formed, despite competitive nature of the game. 

Mumbai will start their 2017 campaign in the Maharastra derby against Rising Pune Supergiant on April 6 in Pune.
