Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has shared an extremely special moment with the Mumbai Wheelchair Cricket Team in a practice session at Islam Gymkhana near Marine Lines. The former Proteas batter not only interacted with the players but also sat in a wheelchair alongside them to play. The moment was filled with energy, laughter, and respect for the wheelchair players in Mumbai. The fans were ecstatic after witnessing such a moment for the wheelchair players.
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old was in Mumbai as a part of Project Mumbai, where he spent an entire day volunteering in the city to ignite a spirit of civic engagement. The star player has talked about his experience as Project Mumbai Brand Champion.
"Mumbai has given me so much love over the years. Today, I wanted to give back not as a cricketer, but as a volunteer. There’s something truly powerful about working with others to make spaces better for children, for families, and for this incredible city," said de Villiers.
