India and Australia will square off in the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) at the Narendra Modi stadium beginning March 9. Ahmedabad is gearing up for a blockbuster. The first day of the final Test is anticipated to draw more than 100,000 in the crowd.
With Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, will attend the series decider. Albanese will travel to India on business from March 8 to March 11. Together with the Indian PM, he will travel to Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi to discuss the issue of temple destruction. As such, a latest report suggests that PM Narendra Modi will be spinning the coin during the coin toss ahead of the game. The update naturally sparked reactions among fans.
India lead the 4 Test BGT series 2-1 against Australia
India presently has a 2-1 advantage after three games, and they have successfully defended their Border-Gavaskar Trophy after dominating in Nagpur and Delhi. India will aim to win the series and secure a position in the World Test Championship final. Hence the series’ final Test will be important for both teams. Australia will try to avoid losing another series to India by tying the series. Because of their nine-wicket victory in the Indore Test, the visitors have already advanced to the Test Championship final.
So far, all three games in the series were decided on the third day, with spinners resulting essential to both teams. Australia’s Nathan Lyon decimated the Indian batting order in the third innings of the Indore Test by taking 8 wickets. In contrast, Indian leg spinner Ravindra Jadeja was named Player of the Match for the first two Tests.
Ravichandran Ashwin, a prominent spinner who claimed one five-wicket haul in the Nagpur Test, has also proved important for India. Matthew Kuhnemann, who made his Test debut during this series, proved to be a bowler who may help the visitors. As Australia cleaned India out for 109 runs in the opening inning of the Indore Test, he claimed five wickets.
Here’s how fans reacted to the update:
