PM Modi Broke News Of England's Ashes Win To British PM Morrison, Claim Reports

England's historic feat was even discussed on the sidelines of the ongoing G7 summit in France

The Englishmen needed 73 more runs to win the 3 Ashes Test on Sunday when they lost their penultimate wicket. Vice-captain Ben Stokes, who was already battling relentlessly, was joined by Jack Leach at the centre while the Aussies needed to hit the last nail in the coffin. The England supporters have almost lost all the hopes but they didn’t have the idea that their World Cup hero was left with ample fuel in the tank. In such a do-or-die moment, Stokes hammered the Australian attack like never before and turned the game completely upside down. The visitors had a few chances to maintain the lead but probably the eleventh-hour nervousness forced them causing those mistakes – Marcus Harris dropped the catch, Time Paine’s wrong DRS call and Nathan Lyon missing the run-out chance. As a result, the hosts stitched an 80-run stand for the final wicket to accomplish their best-ever chase in the history of Test cricket. England had won the game by 1 wicket.

This historic feat was even discussed on the sidelines of the ongoing G7 summit in France. Several reports have claimed that it was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who broke the news of England's victory to his British counterpart Boris Johnson. Modi met Johnson on Sunday and it was then that the Indian PM broke the news of the win to him. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison congratulated Johnson on the win to which before saying: “Two to go, two to go,” referring to the fact that the series was level 1-1 with two more games to go, Johnson replied, “We are not taking anything for granted. It was a hell of a leap.”
