It may have been a nightmarish tour on field but off the field, Indian cricketers had an evening to remember when they were felicitated by the Indo-British Parliamentarians Group for their historic World Cup triumph earlier this year.
Britain’s former Foreign Secretary David Miliband presented a Crystal Cup to Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at a Parliamentary Gala dinner held in honour of the team at the May Fair Hotel in central London last night.
In his brief address, Miliband said, “Team India has delighted us, frustrated us and inspired us. Our two countries are divided over the cricket field – you as World Cup winner and we as, atleast for the moment, No.1 Test Players in the world.”
