We teamed up with Virat Kohli to surprise Indian students in the UK
Studying abroad is exciting. But it's also challenging to navigate the ups and downs without your home comforts. Moving abroad shouldn't mean sacrificing your sense of belonging. That's why we teamed up with Virat Kohli to surprise Indian students in the UK with a game of gully cricket. This was a uniquely Indian reminder of home and a great way to connect with other students.
