Delhi: The Indian cricket team met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence on Thursday after returning from Barbados after winning the ICC T20 World Cup. It was a moment to savour for the cricketers who had a long chat with the members of the Indian team. Reports suggest that the players were felicitated at the PM’s residence and they also had their breakfast there. But what stole the show was the photo session. During the photo session, Modi was spotted holding the hands of Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid instead of holding the trophy.
Here is the picture and the reactions:
