Cricket mums stand by their special ones


In India, children with special needs who have a knack for playing cricket are cheered on by their mothers.

BEING disabled doesn’t have to be the big setback that it’s made out be – that’s what Manisha Kolte, a daily wage earner from Nagpur in Maharashtra, India, told her son, Nikhil, ever since the boy realised that he was "different" from the other children in his neighbourhood. Nikhil has been visually challenged since birth and his mother has been his biggest source of strength and his greatest supporter.
