UK’s King Charles meets Indian Team
at St.James Palace

It’s ‘Unfortunate’ – this what King Charles told Indian cricket team on Mohammed Siraj’s wicket on the 5th day of the third Test at Lords.

UK ’s King Charles met India’s men’s and women’s cricket teams at St. James’s Palace in London on Tuesday, a day after India lost to England after a five-day test match at Lord’s Cricket Ground in the city.
Shubman Gill also said that it was “very kind and generous” of King Charles to call and meet them.
King Charles also met the coaches and BCCI officials and posed with them, along with both the teams, for pictures. This was followed by an interaction between them.

Amidst the interaction, Indian test cricket team captain Shubman Gill said that King Charles called the way Mohammed Siraj got out during the last day of the test match between India and England “unfortunate”.
At a crucial moment during the match Monday, when it seemed India would upset the odds and beat the opponent, England’s Shoaib Bashir’s delivery got the better of Mohammed Siraj as the ball rolled back onto the stumps.
Gill also said that it was “very kind and generous” of King Charles to call and meet them.
Gill went on to say that “It was amazing to meet King Charles III and he was very kind and generous to call them. They had some really good conversations. King Charles III told them that the way their last batsman Mohd.Siraj got out was quite unfortunate, the ball rolling on the stumps.

India women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur said that while they have come to England several times, it was the first time they met King Charles, whom she called “very friendly”.
“It was a very nice experience, they came to England so many times but this was the first time they were privileged to meet him. He was very friendly, he asked them how was the travel and all, it was really nice to meet him.
