Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared pictures of his visit to Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad where he watched a cricket match with “good friend” Anthony Albanese of Australia. The two Prime Ministers were greeted with loud cheering and applause as they took a lap of honour at the stadium to celebrate 75 years of friendship between Australia and India.
“Cricket, a common passion in India and Australia,” PM Modi said in a tweet, sharing pictures of the two leaders enjoying the fourth Test match between India and Australia.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese, visited the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on Thursday to witness the India vs Australia 4th Test Match, with star players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Steve Smith on the pitch.
The IND vs AUS 4th test match is taking place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which was previously known as the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, and is an age-old landmark in Ahmedabad. While the stadium has remained in business since 1983, it was renovated and reopened in 2020.
The stadium has hosted hundreds of cricket matches in the last few decades, recently coming into prominence as the hub for international cricket matches and ICC tournaments. The India vs Australia test match is also being hosted here, which is a crucial series for Team India.
