WATCH: King Charles III meets Shubman Gill and Harmanpreet Kaur’s Team India members, talks about Siraj…, video goes viral
New Delhi: The Indian cricket team was on its way to beating England in the Lord’s Test match. That’s when fate played such a game that Mohammed Siraj went bold and India lost. Whoever saw the wicket has described Siraj’s dismissal as unfortunate. It was so unlucky that even the royal family of England discussed it and King Charles III spoke to Captain Shubman Gill about it.
Team India was close to winning
India needed 193 runs to win. England had lost eight wickets to India for 112 runs. Ravindra Jadeja then teamed up with Jasprit Bumrah to take India closer to victory. Bumrah was dismissed for a total of 147. He was followed by Jadeja, along with Mohammed Siraj who took the team close to victory. Luck, however, did not favor Siraj and a ball from Shoaib Bashir went to the back of the leg stumps even after hitting the middle of his bat.
Team India meets King Charles
Team India players met King Charles-3 after suffering defeat at Lord’s. Team India had arrived to meet him at his home. Meanwhile, Charles spoke to captain Gill and also discussed about Siraj’s dismissal to which Gill said that it was a game of cricket. Apart from this, Charles also had a long discussion with vice-captain Rishabh Pant and even had a laugh with him. Something similar was the case with Jasprit Bumrah. King Charles talked to every Indian team player and had a laugh.
Also talked to the women’s team
Apart from the men’s team of India, the women’s team is also in England at the moment. India’s women’s team recently defeated England in the T20 series. The women’s team was also met by Charles. Women players also spoke to King and asked him about his game.
BCCI officials were also present
BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia and Vice President Rajiv Shukla were also present with the team on the occasion. Shukla said King Charles spoke about the Lord’s Test. “King and I talked about the Lord’s Test match. King said it was unfortunate that Siraj was dismissed otherwise India would have won the match. The team has proved that he is a fighter. We will win the series,” he said.
