Prime Minister Narendra Modi is known to bat on the front foot. How he uses cricket diplomacy and terminology to show the robustness of relations or to inspire students is well known.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese were present for the first day of the India-Australia Test in Ahmedabad. They both took a lap of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera and met the cricketers.
In 2016, PM Modi used the term "aggressive batting" to describe the deepening ties between India and New Zealand.
PM Modi's cricket analogy came while he was addressing a joint press conference with then New Zealand Prime Minister John Key. He was referring to the One-Day International cricket match between India and New Zealand.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his New Zealand counterpart John Key on Wednesday used cricket terminology to emphasise the cordial relations between the two countries.
"In many ways, some of the cricketing terminology reflects the progress in our bilateral linkages. In our ties, we have moved from fielding at 'long off' to taking a fresh guard at the batting pitch. Defensive play has given way to aggressive batting," said Modi.
