Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was in attendance on the stadium to bear witness to the sport. He was joined by his father-in-law, Narayana Murthy amongst other big names present at the sport.
After the conclusion of the sport Sunak took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to share his impressions.
“Tough day for England on the Wankhede but I do know our team will come back stronger,” the previous PM said.
“Congratulations to Team India on the win,” the post continued.
Sunak also exchanged a few word with the skippers of the respective teams Suryakumar Yadav and Jos Buttler ahead of the sport and needs the 2 the absolute best.
“Despite the result, it was an honour to satisfy @josbuttler and @surya_14kumar before the match and a pleasure to look at the cricket with my father-in-law,” the 44-year-old added.
India, who were put to bat first by Buttler after the English skipper won the toss, romped their strategy to a mammoth total of 247 runs for the lack of 9 wickets of their 20-over quota because of a sensational innings from young opener Abhishek Sharma, who hammered a dominant 135 runs in quickfire fashion to take the English bowlers to the cleaners.
India added sheen to their showing in Mumbai with a powerful bowling performance to back their essay with the willow because the hosts bundled a hapless England out for a paltry total of 97 runs in only 10.3 overs. Phil Salt’s Lone Ranger innings of 55 off 23 proved to be nothing greater than a consolation in a game England were absolutely outclassed.
Abhishek was named the person of the match, while spinner Varun Chakravarthy took home the player of the series honours for his incredible showing throughout the campaign.
