King Charles II met the Indian men's and women's teams at St James’s Palace in London on Tuesday. The men's team lost the Lord's Test by 22 runs, while the women's team will take part in a three-match ODI series following their 3-2 triumph in the ODI series.
02:00Yesterday was a little sad, but that's all I think.
02:02We lost the game.
02:03But...
02:04Who's the toughest competition for you now?
02:06For us?
02:07Yeah.
02:08Not for sure.
02:09On a given day.
02:10On a given day.
02:11Anybody could be good.
02:12Anyone who I am.
02:13On a bad day.
02:14Yeah, yeah.
02:15How long have you been playing?
02:16All your life?
02:17All your life?
02:18So we're all different.
02:19I've been playing international cricket for 10 years.
02:21These guys are slightly younger than me.
02:23So...
02:24He's the captain now.
02:25Test captain and he's the vice captain.
02:27Wow, wow.
02:28Wow, wow.
02:29So...
02:30Yeah.
02:31It's an exciting spot.
02:32Yeah.
02:33It's exciting.
02:34I'm so glad to be here.
02:35Very nice to meet you.
02:36I'm so glad to meet you.
02:37I'm so glad to meet you.
02:38The King and the Prime Minister about knife crime.
02:39It's our second meeting.
02:40And I saw you guys in the garden and I was like,
02:43Yo!
02:44He's had this initiative on, you know, trying to prevent young people from different
02:50neighborhoods to make the course of the night.
02:54It's a high rate of stacking.
02:55You should have won the battle.
02:56Yes.
02:57It's a real pleasure, man.
02:58Thank you so much.
02:59Thanks, man.
03:00Good luck.
03:03Thank you so much.
03:04Thanks, man.
03:05Good luck, man.
03:06If you need a...
03:07A spare.
03:08All right.
03:09Keep that in mind.
03:10How are you doing?
03:11Nice to meet you.
03:12How are you doing?
03:13How are you doing?
03:14How are you doing?
03:15Oh, wow.
03:16Nice to meet you.
03:17How are you?
03:18Okay.
03:19Nice to meet you.
03:20Hi, Jack.

03:22Yeah.

03:24Nice to meet you, man.
03:25Nice to meet you.
03:26Pleasure, pleasure.
03:27Come on.
03:28Just pull it a little bit.
03:29Fast forward...
03:30...
03:32Excuse me, excuse me.
03:34I just wanted to say hi.
03:35I saw you guys in the window.
03:36I just wanted to say hi.
03:37I saw you guys in the window.
03:38I just wanted to say hi.
03:39Thank you so much.
03:40Sorry to take it away.
03:41Thanks to meet you.
03:49Thank you so much.
03:50Sorry to take it away.
03:51Thanks to meet you.
03:54Huge.
05:23I mean, here you, Majesty. It's our religion, and these are our datings.
05:27It is wonderful if someone could want to do it still.
05:30Actually, it's wonderful.
05:32I hope he doesn't interrupt your training.
05:37And I saw it on the news.
05:41Scored a sensation motor gun.
05:43The ball, didn't it? Spin.
05:45And then went and hit them.
05:47It's a game of cricket.
05:49I remember that terrible feeling.
05:51Sinking.
05:53Anyway, I'm sure we're going to do it.
05:55The next one is next week.
05:57Yes, then next week.
05:59And did you lots more training in between?
06:01Yeah.
06:03And they feed you properly.
06:05They're tired.
06:11At most, we want to recover your car crash.
06:15That's my job, sir.
06:17Maybe you can get hurt.
06:19This is the one passing me down on your face.
06:21I'm scared.
06:23I said, thank you.
06:25I'm scared.
06:27I'm scared.
06:29But I know you're so sick of bullshit.
06:31Yeah, I know you're up and down.
06:33I'm scared.
06:35I'm scared.
06:37I'm scared.
06:39But I know you're so sick of bullshit.
06:41Yeah, I know.
06:43I know you're so sick of bullshit.
06:45The boy went straight in.
06:47Yes, a partner.
06:49He's a, he's a.
06:51He's doing it.
06:53I was very young.
06:55Started learning creative way of watching the television.
06:57And then picked back the spot.
06:59And he had a really good coach.
07:03Gents, can you move back, please.
07:05And you're not too into the body.
07:07No, I'm not too into the body.
07:09I'm too into the body.
12:11I am here, I am here, what do you need to do?
12:25Come here, come here.
12:30Thank you very much.
13:00Thank you very much.
13:30Thank you very much.
14:00Thank you very much.
14:30Thank you very much.
15:00Thank you very much.
15:30Thank you very much.
16:00Thank you very much.
16:30Thank you very much.
17:00Thank you very much.
18:02You brought your team to Carrots House to meet the King.
18:06How was it for you and your teammates to be here the day after the third test?
18:12What was it like meeting the King?
18:14It was amazing. I think he was very kind and generous to be able to call us here and it was a pleasure meeting the King and we had some really good conversations.
18:22It seems like he was watching the highlights on TV last night and he said it was very exciting. How do you feel to know the King was watching your performance yesterday?
18:32Yes, he did tell us that the way our last batsman got out was quite unfortunate, the ball rolling on the stumps and he was just asking us how did we feel after that and we told him it was an unfortunate match for us.
18:47It could have gone either way but hopefully we will have better in both the next games.
18:54Cricket is more than a sport in India. It's huge. Do you feel it here in the UK because you have had massive support while you have been here as well?
19:03Yes, definitely. I think everywhere we go we are very lucky and fortunate that we always get a good support and it's been no different here.
19:11Although I think the first couple of days there were more English supporters at lots but I think in the last three days we got some really good support for us.
19:19And Shuman, just finally, they are saying that the biggest winner is Test match cricket. Would you agree with that?
19:26Yes, definitely. I think the way both the teams played, they showed a lot of passion and we played with a lot of pride.
19:33We gave out everything mentally and physically and at the end of the day when you play a Test match that goes on for five days in the last session and you lose by 20 runs, the winner would definitely be cricket.
19:47Thank you so much.
19:50We have approximately two to three minutes.
19:54You have just met the King. What's his experience like? What did he say to you? Any words of advice?
20:01It was a very nice experience. We came to England so many times but this was our first time when we met him.
20:08He was very friendly. He asked us how was the travel and all. Really nice to meet him.
20:15And do you feel like you have had an amazing reception here from the diaspora. Now you are actually here meeting the King. Do you think women's cricket is top of its game at the moment?
20:26Yeah, definitely. We have been playing good cricket and I think with that we are getting a lot of opportunity to express ourselves. So really happy the way things are moving on.
20:37Coach, tell us something about how you had this experience in terms of meeting the King. Obviously you know it's an experience that not many have probably for the rest of their life. So what are you taking back from this experience?
20:50I echo the same what Harman just said. It's been a very humbling experience coming here to the Royal House and meeting the King. It's been the first time. So we came all the way from Southam but it was really worth it and the girls were really excited about this visit and we are pleased that we are here.
21:10Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
