Mumbai: New Zealand opener Martin Guptill, currently plying his trade with IPL franchise Mumbai Indians as replacement for injured Lendl Simmons, seems to have taken a liking for Mumbai.

Gutpill, who has featured in only one match so far for MI, decided to take timeout from his schedule to spend tome with slum kids from Dharavi. The Auckland-born aggressive batsman, this time around however, was seen with the ball in a video he uploaded on his Instagram account.
Guptill somehow managed to bowl with kids busy taking a video of him. "Had a good morning today at Dharavi playing cricket and having a guided tour. A very cool place to visit. Highly recommend going there if you are ever in Mumbai! Thank you to @bethelocaltoursandtravels for the tour! @lauramcgoldrick13 @mitch_m81 @mumbaiindians #India #Mumbai #Dharavi",” he wrote.
Foreign cricketers seem to be embracing Indian culture. Recently, Mumbai Indians' fielding coach Jonty Rhodes performed a puja for his daughter named India.
