Cricket Viral Video: Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, is widely renowned by many as the architect of modern India. His contribution to the nation is unparalleled. Though, he is known for his cool and calm composure, even many ardent followers are not aware of the fact that he was actually a skillful cricketer as well. Jawaharlal Nehru studied in Harrow, England where he occasionally played cricket.

Many reffered the video as a piece of history which must be saved. While, many others were thrilled seeing the parliamentarians play the sport, which is not a usual sight in today’s time.
Apparently, a charity function in New Delhi hosted the cricket match. Nehru led the Lower House squad in the game despite having “last played cricket at Harrow” before this contest. According to the video, the Nehru team’s first-inning score was 222/3. Before declaring himself “morally out” in the second inning, Nehru scored one run. The game ended in a draw, however.
