17,000 underprivileged children cheer for Nita Ambani's team Mumbai Indians

Let's agree that the Mumbai Indians aren't having the time of their lives during this IPL. Skipper Rohit Sharma has said as much, admitting that the team's performance has been poor.

Team owner Nita Ambani, though, didn't allow that to let her spirits tank. On April 25, when the Mumbai Indians hosted Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the Reliance Foundation Chairperson had something special in mind as she cheered for the team. There were over 17,000 underprivileged children, including 200 special kids, by her side as part of the foundation's Education for All initiative.

"If we can combine the incredible power of education and indomitable spirit of sports, we can create magic in our lives," says Ambani exuberantly. And while the gesture was widely appreciated, it sure did help the home team's morale — they beat the Sunrisers by 20 runs. Sharma must be hoping for a few more of such lucky charms.
