In the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup that took place in November, England were crowned champions as they defeated Pakistan marking the country's second T20 World Cup win. England had first won the title 12 years ago when Paul Collingwood's team had beaten Australia in 2010.
But when the T20 World Cup-winning team met British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, he also had to face some deliveries from Sam Curran and Chris Jordan.
The Indian-origin leader also tried his hand at bowling.
A video of Rishi Sunak playing cricket with the team was shared on Twitter by Luca Boffa, a senior videographer to the Prime Minister.
“Prime Minister @RishiSunak playing cricket with the #T20 World Cup winning cricket team at 10 Downing Street,” he wrote in the caption.
Fast bowler Sam Curran was seen bowling a spin delivery to Rishi Sunak that the latter missed. Rishi Sunak was also seen edging off a delivery by Jordan’s as loud cheers were heard all around.
