It is the ESA Day and the ESA game, where MI owner Nita Ambani has given free entry to 19,000 girls from 36 different NGOs across the city.

“It’s the most special game of the year for us. It’s the ESA game! Imagine 19,000 girls from across various NGOs in the city bracing the stands and egging the team on. Ah, the adrenaline rush!” said the Mumbai Indians website about this special day.

What to expect from their special fans: “the goosebumps of an ESA day too with 19000 girls shouting MUMBAIII…MUMBAIII !!!” the site added in their preview.

Mark Boucher, the head coach of the MI men’s team, Jhulan Goswami, the MI women’s team’s bowling coach, and Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai men’s batting coach, spoke of this laudables initiative, saying that this will motivate the girls to take up the sport professionally.

“Mumbai Indians have been fantastic in creating this initiative and hopefully, it’s going to go out to the rest of the world. The biggest lesson is that they will take away from this game as well is that seeing sports and inspiring them to be able to play sport at a professional level one day,” Boucher said in a video uploaded by Mumbai Indians’ Twitter handle.

“Definitely, it’s going to motivate them and encourage them. In the future, we will see a lot of girls coming into the sport,” Goswami said.

“I think that’s a fantastic sort of gesture, not only for kids or whatever, but for the ladies of this generation. It’s very very instrumental in the development of any kid and, more so, ladies and girls, especially in sports. So, it gives you a different perspective of what you can accomplish as an individual and as a female,” said Pollard.
