Overview
- On Sunday, May 24, 2026, Mumbai Indians dedicated their annual Education and Sports for All match to 20,000 schoolchildren and, for the first time, invited children and young adults from the National Association for the Blind to attend live.
- Volunteers and audio narrators will describe every boundary, wicket and stadium moment in detailed, event-by-event commentary so visually impaired fans can experience the game in real time.
- Nita Ambani recorded a message highlighting ESA’s 16-year reach and saying the programme has touched 29 million children while urging players to make the day memorable for the visitors.
- Organizers and NAB India leaders say the stadium visit will give some attendees their first live sporting experience and that such exposure can build confidence and social inclusion for visually impaired people.
- ESA is Reliance Foundation’s long-running outreach effort that pairs large-scale school engagement at Wankhede with targeted accessibility supports through partners such as the National Association for the Blind.
