In an endearing run-up to one of IPL's most significant encounters, Nita M. Ambani has asked Mumbai Indians players to be a source of inspiration for thousands of children as the team commits its next match against Lucknow Super Giants to the Education and Sports for All (ESA) campaign. The highly awaited ESA game, scheduled for Sunday, April 27 at Wankhede Stadium, will witness the stands alive with the spirit of close to 19,000 kids from NGOs all over Mumbai, including 200 special need children-many having their first live match.

High Points:

Nita Ambani called the match "very special," motivating players to "put up your best show" for the children, many of whom wait years for such an opportunity.
The Reliance Foundation makes for a day of remembrance for each child, including four nutritious meals from the time they get on the bus until they leave for home.
Ambani recounted a heartwarming anecdote about a little girl saving her cake for her brother, highlighting the effect of little gestures and the inspiration that can be sparked.
The ESA program, which was launched in 2010, has reached more than 23 million young lives with the spirit of inclusion, ambition, and the love of sport and learning.
The ESA annual game has become a beacon of hope and togetherness, reflecting the conviction that each child, no matter their origins, can do magic.

This Sunday, Wankhede Stadium will not only be a venue-it will be a platform for dreams, inspiration, and the unifying force of sport.
