Watch: Martin Guptill playing cricket with Dharavi slum kids is the best thing you will see today
The New Zealand hard hitter took some time off his commitments to play cricket with some kids in Dharavi
Martin Guptill, who was added to the Mumbai Indians roster as a replacement for Lendl Simmons, seems to have an instant Mumbai connection. New Zealand's opening batsman, taking some time off his IPL duties, decided to spend some time with Dharavi kids and play cricket with them. In a video posted by him on Instagram, Guptill was seen with the ball instead of the bat. Surrounded by a swarm of people, Guptill somehow managed to bowl while others were busy taking his video.
He wrote on Instagram: "Had a good morning today at Dharavi playing cricket and having a guided tour. A very cool place to visit. Highly recommend going there if you are ever in Mumbai! Thank you to @bethelocaltoursandtravels for the tour! @lauramcgoldrick13 @mitch_m81 @mumbaiindians #India #Mumbai #Dharavi"
Not only Guptill, Mumbai Indians' fielding coach Jonty Rhodes too is proud of his India connection and recently performed a puja for his daughter named India.
