As a Mumbaikar, I love the thought behind the design. The constant motion, the resilience – that's our city! But I hope the team's performance matches the jersey's inspiration. The squad looks strong, especially with Jhulan Goswami as mentor.

The coral accent is a nice touch for balance and warmth. WPL is doing wonders for women's cricket in India. Excited to see players like Shabnim Ismail and Nat Sciver-Brunt in action. Hoping for another thrilling season!

Respectfully, while the jersey is nice, I wish they'd focus a bit more on the practical aspects for players – like breathability in Mumbai's heat – rather than just the symbolism. The design is great, but performance comfort matters too.
