Members of the internet hacking group Anonymous have been staging protests across 16 cities in India, against what they say is internet censorship in the country.
Mumbai's Azad Maidan sports ground is often packed with children playing cricket, but the bowlers and batsmen were joined on Saturday by a sea of Guy Fawkes masks.
The costumes are a hallmark of the internet "hacktivist" group Anonymous which organised a series of protests in Indian cities, including Mumbai.
"I'm here for internet freedom. There's restrictions on speaking online. That's why I'm here," says 19-year-old Amisha, a student who was one of around 100 protesters in Mumbai.
Holding banners calling for freedom from censorship, the group were protesting against India's internet laws. Full story...
