Rishi Sunak’s appointment as the leader of Britain’s Conservative Party delighted Indians. They believed that the 42-year-old resembled the veteran cricketer.

Rishi Sunak became Britain’s third prime minister this year and the first person of colour to lead the former imperial power, vowing to mend its stricken finances after Liz Truss lasted just 49 days.

Sunak became the ruling Conservatives’ new leader on Monday after triumphing over rival contender Penny Mordaunt, who failed to secure enough nominations from Tory MPs.
