Ahead of the Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Surya Kiran aerobatic team of the Indian Air Force held a captivating rehearsal on Friday. An official confirmed their stellar performance, continuing their practice on Saturday to ensure a flawless display for the grand finale. The Gujarat Defence Public Relations Officer (PRO) mentioned that the team will enthrall spectators with a thrilling 10-minute show just before the commencement of the final match on November 19th at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera.
The Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) spokesperson, Jagat Patel, affirmed the planned air show, following a successful rehearsal over the stadium on Friday.
India’s cricket team maintained an undefeated streak throughout the tournament, displaying exceptional all-round skills in the semifinals against New Zealand. India have won all ten matches played so. If they win their eleventh match, they will clinch their third World Cup title. Australia started off the tournament on a bad note, losing two on the trot. But since then, they have won eight games on the run. Australia are looking for their record-extending sixth title.
