A cricket match with a difference Vijetha S.N Thirty visually-impaired young men of Delhi University will be playing a 20-over cricket match this Saturday at Ramanujan College.
“The sound of the ball, the reaction of the audience and the co-ordination of their team-mates is all that is needed for a good game,” said Joint Dean of Students Welfare Vipin Tiwari, whose idea for the match stemmed from looking after the needs of the differently-abled students in the university, says: “These students may be disadvantaged in many ways but they are also talented. We wanted to promote sports activities among these students and bring out their hidden talents.” The match is being held by the college's Equal Opportunities Cell with the help of the Apex Club of India which has conducted similar activities for the differently-disabled. Students belonging to different colleges of Delhi University have registered for the match and have been trained by the club on team coordination. Mr. Tiwari added that the participants were very eager for the match to begin. “After all, such a match does not take place everyday,” he says. source: http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/article2819238.ece -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.
