Always a privilege to play for #TeamIndia – on the field or off it. Was satisfying to visit our seva kutirs & free residential school we are building with Parivaar.

Our children can make this world better & brighter. We just have to ensure all of them get equal opportunities. pic.twitter.com/0sqVRg2Fwl
