Earlier, PM Albanese visited the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and expressed his admiration for Mahatma Gandhi. Then, he went for the “Holi Celebrations” event which was hosted by the Governor of Gandhinagar, where performers from several states showcased their native dance styles.
Meanwhile, Pat Cummins was slated to lead Australia in the complete series but he flew back home after the 2nd Test match because of personal reasons. He is likely to miss the upcoming ODI series as well.
Talking about the ongoing series, India is retaining the trophy as of now after defeating Australia in the first two Tests and losing the third Test of the 2023 series. If Australia manages to win the last game and the series is drawn, India will retain the trophy as the 2020-2021 series went in favour of the Men in Blue.
