BANGALORE: "India should win; best of luck" read some of the messages written by the children.

In a unique expression of solidarity with the Indian team playing in the West Indies for the ICC World Cup, over 700 children of St. Aloysius High School, Cox Town, on Tuesday penned down their messages on handkerchiefs.

These die-hard fans of Indian cricket wrote individual messages on their handkerchiefs.

These will be sent to the Indian team, now camping in the Caribbean islands.

The children wrote the messages using sketch pens, and handed them over to the organisers after prayers.

Earlier, playback singer Nandita Rakesh inaugurated the campaign that was organised by Bharathinagar Residents Forum.

President of the forum N.S. Ravi said that the handkerchiefs would be sent by courier on Wednesday to reach the hotel where the Indian cricket team is staying.
