Love the focus on participation over competition. So important for building confidence in young children without the pressure of winning. My nephew participated in the last edition in Rajkot and hasn't stopped talking about it!

Great to see the Titans reaching smaller cities like Surendranagar and Morbi. Grassroots development is where real sporting culture is built. IPL teams should do more of this beyond their home cities. Well done GT! 🏏

While the initiative is praise-worthy, I hope they are ensuring proper facilities and safety, especially for younger children in the summer heat. The article mentions 'fun and inclusive games' but not much about the infrastructure.

10,000 children engaged over two editions is an impressive number. This is how you build a legacy and fan base, not just through IPL wins. Hope other franchises take note and launch similar programs in their states.

As someone who works in education, integrating sports like this is crucial for holistic development. The fact that they're including both private and government schools is key for real inclusivity. Thumbs up from me!
