South African cricket legend AB de Villiers shared some heartfelt moments with the Mumbai wheelchair cricket team as a part of Project Mumbai. The former cricketer has been in Mumbai for this special project to generate more awareness and civic sense among people in Mumbai. 

He visited multiple places, including the Mumbai wheelchair cricket team at Islam Gymkhana, Marine Lines, and interacted with people. Villiers engaged with the cricketers so much that he chose to sit in a wheelchair to play alongside them. This interaction session was full of joy, laughter, energy, and mutual respect. 

Apart from spending some quality time with the wheelchair cricket team, the legendary figure went to visit a BMC municipal school in Malabar Hill and the CSSC Centre. During the visit to a municipal school, Villiers spent some time with school students and picked up a paintbrush to make the room more colorful and vibrant so that students can feel more engaged with their school and studies. This initiative was a part of Project Mumbai’s SATRANG program.

A day packed with multiple initiatives 

And, at the CSSC Centre, Villiers immerses himself in a paper bag-making workshop with some underprivileged children. 

"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," Project Mumbai's brand ambassador AB de Villiers said.
