The official White House caption for this picture reads, “World-famous cricket legend Brian Lara shows President Obama how to properly swing a bat”.

Editorial in The Indian Express:
“So what does that photograph tell us? Does that determined jaw betray impatience with the paces of a game that unfolds over five days? Or does it convey parallel thoughts about how to harness America’s soft power with its own sports? Perhaps it’s just as simple as Obama concentrating as hard as a person must in the presence of a master.”
