When the Indian team chose the photo with PM Modi instead of King Charles, this was the real reason:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Buckingham Palace in London…one of the most royal palaces in the world. There you get a chance to get a photo clicked with King Charles, one of the greatest heads of state in the world, so hardly anyone would want to miss it. But the support staff of the Indian cricket team was thinking something else. For him, a bigger desire than a picture with King Charles was to be in a frame with his country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This incident happened when the Indian team was on the tour of England for the final of the World Test Championship. During this time the team also got a chance to visit Buckingham Palace. When the team players were meeting King Charles and getting photographed, Team India’s throwdown specialist Nuwan Seneviratne and Raghu (Raghavendra) told each other that they were not particularly interested in taking a picture with King Charles, but they wanted to get a chance to get a memorable photo clicked with Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he returned to India.

This was not just a suppressed desire, but a kind of vow.

when the wish was fulfilled

Who knew that his heart’s desire would be fulfilled so soon and in such a wonderful way. India may have lost the final of the World Test Championship, but when the team reached the final of the World Cup, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself reached the dressing room to meet the team and encourage them.

That moment was like a dream come true for the Indian support staff. PM Modi not only met the players, but also talked to every support staff member of the team, appreciated their work and also posed for photographs with them. It was a very emotional moment for Nuwan and Raghu. The picture which he had once only imagined in England, had now become a reality in front of him.

This incident shows that there is a greater feeling of belonging and pride in a meeting with the leader of one’s country than in a formal photo with the royal family of another country. For the support staff of the Indian team, the picture taken with PM Modi is not just a photo, but a symbol of respect for their contribution and a memorable moment.
