Former England cricketer, Kevin Pietersen, praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday for standing up for rhinos throughout the world and attributed his leadership for India’s growing rhino population.
Kevin, an avid rhino conservationist, wrote on Twitter: ‘Thank you, Narendra Modi. A global leader standing up for the planet’s rhino species. If only more leaders would do the same. And this is the reason why rhino numbers in India are rising exponentially. What a hero.’
