The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia is set to take place at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will be watching the World Cup final match at the stadium with a seating capacity of 132,000 spectators.

Sanjay Raut took a dig at the BJP saying “there is no need to bring politics into Cricket but it is being done in Ahmedabad”.

“In this country, a political event is being organised for everything since Modi Govt has come to power in Centre and in several states…There is no need to bring politics in Cricket but it is being done in Ahmedabad. As if PM Modi will bowl, Amit Shah will bat and BJP leaders will stand at the boundary. We will get to hear that we won the World Cup since PM Modi was there. Anything happens in this country, nowadays,” he said while speaking to reporters in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, prayers, havans and other holy rituals are being organised by cricket fans across the country to wish the ‘men in blue’ good luck for the final match.

A huge crowd thronged the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad to watch the ‘final’ showdown between India and Australia.

PM Modi also extended best wishes to the team ahead of the match. “All the best Team India! 140 crore Indians are cheering for you. May you shine bright, play well and uphold the spirit of sportsmanship,” he said in an X post.
