Former British PM Rishi Sunak said a trip to Mumbai is incomplete without a game of tennis ball cricket, and asserted he was happy that he did not get out too many times

Former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was spotted enjoying a game of tennis ball cricket at the iconic Parsee Gymkhana in south Mumbai on Sunday. He later said he was happy he did not get out too many times.

“No trip to Mumbai is complete without a game of tennis ball cricket,” he wrote on X, posting a photo of himself going onto the front foot for a cover drive.

“Great to be with all of you at the Parsee Gymkhana Club at its anniversary celebrations. What an extraordinary achievement. So much history and so much exciting stuff to come. I managed not to get out too many times this morning,” he told reporters.

Sunak, who has often expressed his love for cricket, said he looked forward to more such visits. He further interacted with young aspiring cricketers at the venue.

The Parsee Gymkhana was formed on February 25, 1885 with Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy as its founder president and Jamsetjee Tata as chairman. It moved to its current location along the picturesque Marine Drive in 1887.
