Cricket Dreams is an inspiring story of nine former street-connected children from Delhi who seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in the Street Child Cricket World Cup in Chennai, India. Throughout their incredible journey, they experience things they never thought possible, discover parts of India they’ve never seen, and forge friendships with children from around the globe. Through the cricket tournament, an arts program, and a conference on child rights, they gain a platform to raise their voices, share their stories, and advocate for other street-connected children worldwide.
Nineteen teams from fourteen countries across four continents came together in Chennai for the second edition of the Street Child Cricket World Cup, united by a single goal: to make the ‘invisibles’ visible. The cricket played was of a high standard, and the competition was fierce, yet the spirit of the game shone through, characterised by friendship, camaraderie, and respect.
