New Delhi, March 3: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Friday sought to supplement his observations on “leadership” with cricketing analogy in the presence of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-England cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
He said this while addressing the Raisina Dialogue during a panel discussion titled “Turbulence, Temperament, And Temerity: Leadership In The Age Of Uncertainty”.
It was not, in fact, a mere coincidence that both Blair and Pietersen to a country which is the birthplace of the Gentleman’s Game.
When asked about India being a bigger economy than the UK, Jaishankar referred to the popular movie ‘RRR’. He said: “The most popular film in India last year was ‘RRR’. It has to do with the British era. The fact is, when you have such a complex history, there would be a downside to it, there would be suspicions, unresolved problems.”
