Watch: British PM Rishi Sunak plays cricket with England's T20 World Cup-winning team at 10 Downing Street

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.”

Sam Curran was seen throwing a spin delivery to Sunak who then missed it. The prime minister was also seen edging off a Jordan’s delivery. Loud cheers could be heard from all those who were present during the game.

Meanwhile, England’s limited-overs skipper Jos Buttler also posted a few glimpses of the team’s meet at 10 Downing Street. “It was a privilege to take the T20 World Cup to 10 Downing Street yesterday with a few of the lads!” he wrote.
