British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak took everyone by surprise when he was spotted playing cricket with England’s T20 World Cup winning team. He was seen facing quite a few deliveries from Sam Curran and Chris Jordan. The Indian-origin PM was also spotted trying his hands on bowling. The match was being played in what looked like a garden at Sunak’s official residence, 10 Downing Street. A video of the friendly game was shared by the prime minister’s senior videographer, Luca Boffa on Twitter. He captioned the video saying, “Prime Minister @RishiSunak playing cricket with the #T20 World Cup winning cricket team at 10 Downing Street.” https://twitter.com/luca_boffa/status/1638614273784946702 Sam Curran was seen throwing a spin delivery to Sunak who then missed it.
