Australian and Indian PMs watching the India-Australia test: Live

The Australian and Indian Prime Ministers, Anthony Albanese and Narendra Modi will attend the first day of the fourth cricket Test match between their countries at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad on March 9. 

India holds a 2-1 lead in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. The series takes its name from two notable former cricket captains, India's Sunil Gavaskar, and Australia's Allan Border. After defeating Australia in the first two Tests of the 2023 series and losing the third, India currently holds the trophy. India will retain the trophy because the 2020–21 series went in favor of the Men in Blue, even if Australia wins the fourth Test and the series ends in a draw.

Anthony Albanese visited the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and showed his admiration for Mahatma Gandhi by removing his shoes and visiting his home, "Hriday Kunj." He witnessed khadi being woven on a spinning wheel and received a copy of the spinning wheel, a book about Gandhi's life in Ahmedabad from 1915 to 1930, and a book on Gandhi's salt march by an Australian author, Thomas Weber.

In the visitor's book, Albanese wrote that Gandhi's values and philosophy continue to inspire people all over the world. Later, he went to the "Holi Celebrations" event that was hosted by the Governor of Gandhinagar. There, traditional dances from different states were performed by artists.
