BGT: India And Australia Teams Meet PM Albanese Ahead Of Sydney Test
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese: Ahead of the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test starting on Friday, the Indian and Australian teams met Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his fiancee Jodie Haydon in a New Year’s reception at Kirribilli House on Wednesday.
According to a report in The Sydney Morning Herald, Albanese also had some words for India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken 30 wickets from four matches in the series so far. “We could pass a law here that says he has to bowl left-handed or off one step. Every time he has come onto bowl has been very exciting," he said in the 90-minute function.
The report said Sam Konstas, Australia’s latest entrant into Test cricket who lit up the MCG with 60 on debut in first innings, got a picture with his childhood hero Virat Kohli, who was in a shoulder collision with him, which led to the veteran getting a 20 per cent fine and a demerit point.
