IND vs AUS / India will play the match at Gabba for the last time, you will be sad to know the reason

IND vs AUS: One of the most iconic grounds in cricket history, Brisbane's Gabba Stadium, will soon become history for the Indian cricket team. The third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, which will be played at the Gabba from December 14, will prove to be Team India's last match on this historic ground. In 2021, the Indian team registered a historic victory by defeating Australia on this very ground, and now, this time the match will give an opportunity to add new memories with a farewell to the Gabba.

Why farewell to the Gabba?

The reason for this change is the Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held in 2032, for which the Gabba Stadium will be renovated. The stadium will be modernized and made compatible with the Olympic Games. The ground will be the center of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics 2032. Apart from this, many important sporting events will be held here during the Olympics.

Rs 1375 crore will be spent for the renovation, which will increase the spectator capacity of the stadium from 42,000 to 50,000. It will transform from just a cricket ground to a modern multi-purpose stadium, ending this chapter of cricket history.

Gabba and Indian cricket: Memories and history

The Gabba ground is special for the Indian cricket team in many ways.

This time, when the Indian team plays at the Gabba, its intention will be to repeat - to register another win and say goodbye to this ground with pride.
