It Was Good To See Him Bat – Rishi Sunak

I Am A Passionate Sports Fan – Rishi Sunak

When questioned about his level of passion for cricket compared to Indian fans, Rishi Sunak chuckled and acknowledged that he expresses it less in his current role as the UK Prime Minister.

“I can express it less in this job. Before I had this job, I would do that. I am a passionate sports fan. When England got the first wicket here (at Lord’s), I was standing up and realising ‘gosh’… and sat down,” he concluded.
