The PM is hoping to score a victory on trade talks when he meets Indian PM Narendra Modi for a one to one chat at the summit today.

But it was his wife Mrs Murty who won over hearts as she played football with local children in the afternoon.

She grinned and spent time taking selfies with the kids during the knockabout.

It is Rishi’s first trip to India since he became PM.

He is the first leader of Britain to be of a Indian descent.

His wife is from one of India’s best known families.

Her father is a billionaire and founder of Infosys.
