Fact check:

To analyze the originality of the viral video the DFRAC team converted the video into several frames. Then reverse image search of those frames. On searching, it was found that the person seen in the video is not Rishi Sunak but former Indian cricket team fast bowler Ashish Nehra.

Ashish Nehra did this dance when Neeraj Chopra gave India a gold medal in the javelin throw at the Olympics. The video was uploaded on YouTube on August 8, 2021. The title is “Sunil Gavaskar and Ashish Nehra dancing after Neeraj Chopra’s gold medal win”. Apart from Nehra, other former cricketers including Sunil Gavaskar and Ajay Jadeja can be seen in this video. After Ashish Nehra, Sunil Gavaskar also danced to the song “Mere Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugale, Ugale Heere-Moti”. 

Conclusion:

It is clear from the verification of  DFRAC that the dance getting viral is not of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak but of Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is misleading.
