“Bringing everyone to a common ground was the real test”, Rubina Dilaik on leading Team Mumbai Strikers in Amazon MX Player’s fitness reality show Battleground
~Battleground is now streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player for free~
Mumbai, India- April 29 2025: Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free streaming service, blazes into the action with Battleground, an adrenaline-charged fitness reality show where strength is tested, limits are shattered and only the toughest rise to claim their moment of triumph. At the helm is cricket superstar Shikhar Dhawan, taking on the mantle of ‘Super Mentor’, setting the tone for an electrifying journey of endurance and transformation. Leading the charge are four powerhouse mentors, Rajat Dalal, Abhishek Malhan, Rubina Dilaik and Neeraj Goyat each injecting their team with unique strategy and leadership. Among them, Rubina stands out as the driving force behind Team Mumbai Strikers who commands with heart and strategy and inspires her squad to push past limits and chase greatness.
Talking about the energy on set, Rubina shared, “The shoots are intense, no doubt but they’re also filled with so much joy and camaraderie. There’s this delicate thread that ties all of us together- whether it’s the contestants or the mentors and in that chaos, we find this beautiful rhythm. We spend nearly 15 to 16 hours on set, and while it’s physically draining, the adrenaline, the passion, the shared excitement makes every second worth it. There are moments from this journey that have carved a permanent place in my heart.”
Reflecting on her experience of leading her Mumbai Strikers team in Battleground, she added, “The biggest challenge for me was bringing everyone to a common ground. Each contestant walks in with a unique story, a different background, their own strengths and life perspectives. And when you’re trying to unite that kind of diversity under one vision, it’s not easy. But that’s where the real work begins – in listening, in understanding, in creating a space where everyone feels seen and valued. That, to me, is the true test of leadership.”
Witness the ultimate test of power, persistence, and personality in Battleground — streaming now only on Amazon MX Player for free, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
