As part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, three Tests have already ended and the fourth match will start from next Thursday (March 9) in Ahmedabad. The Indian team, which is already leading the series by 2-1, is expected to win this match and take the series by 3-1. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will come to Ahmedabad to watch this match live.
The Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) has shocked the fans as both the Prime Ministers are coming to watch the match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on March 9 (first day). On the occasion of the Prime Minister’s arrival, tickets for the first day have been blocked online.
It is reported that spectators are not allowed to watch the match on the first day to avoid security problems due to the arrival of the Prime Ministers of both the countries. To this extent, GCA blocking the first day tickets online has become a topic of discussion. But it is difficult for both the chiefs to watch the match throughout the day. It is doubtful that both of them will watch the match even beyond an hour. And as long as the Prime Minister is there, the audience will not be allowed into the stadium..? Or is it allowed for the entire first day? There is no clarity about that.
Playing a match without spectators in Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket stadium, is also something for the players. Moreover, the results of the match on the first day of this series are clear. In the past three Tests as well, the first day’s play dictated the outcome.
If you miss the first day of these three-day Tests, you will have a chance to watch the remaining one day. In the last three Tests, both the teams did not play till the end of the third day in any match. The indoor test ended in the first session on the third day.
Meanwhile, fans are angry about this decision taken by GCA. GCA and BCCI are also complaining that if you want to watch the crucial test live, it is not good to do this.
