The amalgamation of sports and diplomacy isn’t just a novel, but it remains a potent tool in fostering international relations. Sports, particularly ‘cricket’ in India, holds a profound place in the nation’s heart. The personalized touch in diplomatic gestures, such as the choice of a specific item or a personal signature, adds a human touch to the traditionally formal realm of diplomacy. It transcends political boundaries and resonates on a personal level.
