NEW DELHI: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met the Indian Cricket Team at Parliament House in Canberra on Thursday.
In a video doing the rounds on the internet, the Aussie PM is seen chatting with Jasprit Bumrah commending him on his style as captain Rohit Sharma looks on with a smile on his face.
Border-Gavaskar TrophyMoving on from Bumrah, Albanese shakes hands with Virat Kohli gleefully greeting the former Indian captain exchanging pleasantries. Albanese compliments Kohli by saying, "Good ton in Perth, as if we weren't suffering enough at that point."
To which Kohli replies, "Always got to add some spice: and Albanese breaks into a laugh saying, "Well, India you know."
Rohit Sharma then proceeds to introduce Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin to the Australian Prime Minister.
India A is scheduled to play a two-day warm-up match against Prime Ministers XI at the Manuka Oval in the Australian capital of Canberra from Saturday.
The pink ball warm-up match in Canberra is of utmost importance for India as it will be the only practice game they will get to play ahead of the day-night second Test in Adelaide that starts from December 6.
