New Zealand PM jokes about cricket with Modi in Delhi

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon joked about avoiding cricket discussions during his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. This light-hearted comment followed India's recent victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final on March 9. During their talks, Luxon humorously noted that discussing cricket could lead to a "diplomatic incident," referencing the competitive history between the two nations in cricket. Modi laughed at the quip, showing appreciation for the banter. India's win in the Champions Trophy marked a significant achievement, as it was their first ICC title in a 50-over event since 2013. The two countries have had a competitive cricket history, with India recently overcoming New Zealand in key tournaments.
