Apparently, the trio was watching the sixth game of the second season of The Hundred competition between hosts London Spirit (Men) and Manchester Originals (Men) at Lord's Cricket Ground. The home team won the toss and elected to bat first. They posted 160/6. In the reply, the visitors were folded for 108 runs, losing the game by 52 runs. Shastri is currently doing a commentary stint with Sky Sports Cricket, which is the broadcaster of the tournament in the UK.
He is expected to stay in the European nation till the end of the tournament or the end of the home season. At this point, there is no clarity on his stint with the popular TV channel in England. Talking about Ambani, he is the owner of the most successful Indian T20 League team, Mumbai, which has won the trophy five times. This year, they finished last in the points table.
Notably, the Mumbai owners have also bought a team in the proposed T20 League of South Africa. However, there is no official announcement on the matter and the team will be revealed when everything is finalized. On the other hand, Sundar Pichai is the CEO of popular search engine, Google. He has been part of the company since 2004 and became the CEO in 2014. Meanwhile, the netizens have commented on the image and have been in awe after seeing this.
This is how Twitter reacted

Was reading news that Mukesh is not taking any salary, so if you can please do lend him some money so that he can fly back home.
