A group of budding cricketers from a Mumbai school were thrilled to share nets with their favourites from the Mumbai Indians team.

The youngsters were then treated to a cricket master class, testing their new skills in bowling and batting against their heroes\u00c2\u00a0today\u00c2\u00a0at the Islam Gymkhana, Marine Drive.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was completely awestruck when I saw the MI players on the field rather than on a television. Watching and playing cricket is my passion and sharing the nets with my idols is a dream come true.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said\u00c2\u00a012-year-old\u00c2\u00a0Vijay.<\/p>\n

We hope they had fun while learning as much as we did.
