Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023; Modi, Albanese take a round of stadium prior to match
In the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday arrived at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to watch the first day of the final Test match along with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, state’s Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, BCCI president Roger Binny and BCCI secretary Jay Shah receive him. Australian PM Albanese said he and Prime Minister Modi will be at the toss for the fourth and final Test for the ongoing series between India and Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
PM Modi and his Australian counterpart will be in attendance on the opening day of the fourth Test on Thursday. However, the Australian PM did not say if it will be he or PM Modi who will toss the coin. Banners of Prime Minister Modi and his Australian counterpart have gone up at the Narendra Modi stadium ahead of the final Test.
India is currently leading the series 2-1. However, the hosts need to secure an outright victory in the final Test to qualify for the final of the ICC World Test Championship.
