New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is currently on a visit to India where he spent his time by playing cricket with underprivileged children on the streets of Delhi. During this time, Luxon was also joined by former Indian captain Kapil Dev along with Ross Taylor and Ajaz Patel. The Kiwi Prime Minister shared some of the snaps on videos on his social media where he, Kapil, Taylor and Patel could be seen enjoying their time while playing cricket on the streets.
Christopher Luxon tried his hands on batting, bowling and wicket keeping as well and also took a catch Ajaz Patel while fielding at slips. Apart from that, Luxon also hit some big shots flexing his cricketing skills. "This is unbelievable. I am playing cricket with Kapil Dev on the streets of New Delhi with some amazing kids," Luxon said in a video he shared on Instagram. He shared the video with a caption, “Working hard in India to hit it out of the park for Kiwis.”

PM Modi didn’t bring India’s Champions Trophy win, I didn’t bring New Zealand’s Test wins in India: Christopher Luxon
Christopher Luxon also met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a couple of days ago where both the leaders were engaged in wide-ranging talks focusing on strengthening the bilateral relationship between both nations. During their meet, Luxon also made a joke about avoiding mentioning cricket to prevent ‘diplomatic incident between India and New Zealand. He took examples of New Zealand’s 3-0 whitewash in Test series in India last year, followed by India’s recent Champions Trophy triumph where they defeated New Zealand in the final. After Luxon’s words, PM Modi also burst into laughter.
"I really appreciate that PM Modi didn't bring up New Zealand's Champions Trophy loss to India, and I didn't mention our Test victories in India. Let's keep it that way and avoid a diplomatic incident," Luxon jokingly said
