Perhaps, Indian student’s containers for fish (6)

I believe the answer is:

creels

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'perhaps indian student's containers' is the definition.
'creels' can be an answer for 'containers' (creel is a kind of container). I'm not certain of the 'perhaps indian student's' bit.

'for fish' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'cr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'fish' becomes 'eels' (eel is a type of fish).
'cr'+'eels'='CREELS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for creels that I've seen before include "Fishermen use" , "Wicker baskets for fishermen" , "Fish-baskets" , "Wicker baskets to hold fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
