Prince William plays cricket with Ganguly, Lara

Prince William turned the Mall, which is one of London's most famous streets, and the route to Buckingham Palace, into a temporary cricket pitch on Tuesday. Prince William flaunted his cricket skills as he was joined by some of the game's biggest names. The Cricket on the Mall event was designed to celebrate the links between Britain and India. Mumbai is due to host the annual summit and awards ceremony of William's Earthshot Prize next month. The heir to the British throne was joined by several former and current cricket stars. Among them were Sourav Ganguly, Ajinkya Rahane, Brian Lara, James Anderson and Joe Root. Williams showed off his batting skills, as you can see on the screen, connecting with the bright red ball several times. Even one high-flying shot appeared to catch some of the players by surprise. And after the game, he stopped to meet some of the large crowds who had gathered to watch the spectacle. Yeah, it was very different. It was a challenging wicket. But no, it's a great opportunity, a huge privilege to get the chance to do it. And there are some wonderful backdrops in cricket, but none quite like Buckingham Palace. Well, I think he underrates himself, first of all, because, you know, he's a big football fan, as we all know. But he said, you know, he doesn't know much about cricket. It's about his batting. I think his bowling needs a lot of work. But his batting across the line, I think he'd just be my sort of the number six or number seven batter. You know, the guy that comes in at the end.
