The press conference was held after the much awaited India-UK Free Trade Agreement was signed on Thursday.
At the presser, PM Modi also used a cricket metaphor. He said that for both India as well as UK, cricket is not just a game but a passion. "And also, a great metaphor for our partnership," he added.
"There may be a swing and a miss at times, but we always play with a straight bat! We are committed to building a high scoring solid partnership," PM Modi said after the two countries signed the landmark deal.
