Prime Minister Narendra Modi used a cricketing metaphor to describe India-UK ties, telling British PM Keir Starmer, “There may be a swing and a miss at times, but we always play with a straight bat!” After signing a landmark Free Trade Agreement and launching Vision 2035, Modi emphasized building a “high-scoring, solid partnership” with the UK. Both leaders also interacted with youth at London’s Buckingham Street Cricket Hub. Modi’s remarks resonated as India’s national cricket team tours England. Cricket, he said, symbolizes shared passion and partnership between the two nations, blending diplomacy with a sport loved on both sides. (PC: X)
