Dream Come True Moment For Five Kids Of Bengaluru, As They Meet Players Of Indian National Cricket Team In An Unforgettable Encounter


Cricket is not just a sport in India, it is an emotion, passion & source of inspiration for millions. Growing up in communities where cricket has always been a unifying passion, most of us often watched matches on borrowed screens or heard commentaries on radios. However, for five kids from Parikrma Humanity Foundation, an NGO based in Bengaluru, it was a dream-come-true moment when they not only got a glimpse of their cricketing stars but were in the practice nets with players of Indian national cricket team.

On a platform facilitated by SBI Life insurance and BCCI, the five underprivileged kids found themselves getting wicketkeeping tips from Sanju Samson, facing the bowling attack of ace wicket taker Arshdeep Singh and batting alongside none other than the current Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav himself. 

The objective behind the initiative by SBI Life Insurance was to enrich the lives of underprivileged children by not only supporting their education & holistic development but also inspiring them to dream big and achieve their aspirations for a brighter future.

The five kids Deepika M, Mailari N, Ananya V, Nava Pranav and Paogouhao L, also got the opportunity to watch the India Vs Bangladesh international T20 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

Mr. Ravindra Sharma, Chief of Brand, Corporate Communication, and CSR at SBI Life, said, “We’re honoured to have played a small part in helping these children experience such a significant moment in their lives. At SBI Life we look at our partnership with BCCI beyond supporting the sport to inspire fans across the nation and liberate them to dream big and pursue those dreams. We are thankful of the cricketing legends like Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Sanju Samson, to take time out and wholeheartedly play ball with kids, the quality time spent will be etched as an inspirational memory for the kids, encouraging them to dream big. Through initiatives like these, SBI Life remains committed to supporting and empowering children, ensuring that their dreams are nurtured both inside and outside the classroom”.
