Taking to Twitter, Shastri captioned the post, "In the august company of two people who love their cricket @HomeOfCricket- Mr Mukesh Ambani and Mr @sundarpichai at @thehundred @SkyCricket."
Mukesh Ambani is the Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, while Sundar Pichai is the CEO of Google. Cricket fans reacted quickly to Ravi Shastri's tweet, with many calling the photograph a 'billion-dollar' one. Here's a look at some of the reactions:
In 2020, Google's parent company Alphabet invested 4.5 billion dollars in Indian telecom giant Jio Platforms, owned by India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, aiming to make affordable smartphones for the country's low-income population.
A year later, the partnership announced its first gadget, JioPhone Next, designed to help the roughly 300 million Indian users who are still on 2G networks upgrade to 4G. During the announcement, Ambani called it an "ultra-affordable 4G smartphone". Meanwhile, Pichai stated, "Our vision was to bring affordable access to information for Indians in their language, to build new products and services for India's unique needs, and to empower businesses with technology."
