IPL Match 10 | MIvLSG #ESADay Preview: Playing for a special initiative
Paltan, WE. ARE. ON. A. ROLL!! 😎
The underwhelming start is well and truly behind us. A run of four successive wins has propelled us into the Playoffs spot and now there’s simply no looking back. 🔥
Our upcoming fixture against the Lucknow Super Giants is gonna be more than just a cricket match. It’s the much-awaited #ESADay of the 2025 campaign and we are set to witness a sea of spirited children from NGOs across the City of Dreams… who are set to fulfil their dream of watching the Boys in Blue and Gold perform LIVE in front of their eyes. 🥹
Picture this – A Sunny afternoon at Wankhede, 19,000 kids beaming their cute little smiles, waving our iconic flag, cheering for the team and enjoying their hearts out like never before – Ahh, we can almost feel the feeling RIGHT NOW! 💙 BRB, emo already…
Mrs. Nita Ambani speaks to the team ahead of a match that goes beyond cricket. 💙#ESADay is about playing with heart — for thousands of young dreamers. ✨
