Saiyami Kher Instagram – I smile like a little girl every time I get to watch live sport, and it doesn’t get better or bigger than The Gabba! Ever since I was 8 years old, I’d wake up at 5 am, make excuses to skip school, and watch India take on Australia. I’d wake up and see Australia dominate at the Gabba. Then, in 2021, we witnessed history. @ajinkyarahane and his entire team conquered fortress Gabba! Gill’s 91, the Shardul-Washy partnership, Siraj’s five-fer, and the unforgettable Pant knock — it was all magical!
Thanks to Tourism Australia, I got to live this childhood dream. I got to watch the Gabba Test with fantastic seats and even better company! Sadly, the result wasn’t what we wanted, but as a cricket fan, I was just so happy to see Bumrah on fire. This game became even more special because I got to catch up with @bhogle_harsha , @michaelvaughan , @gilly381 , @haydos359 , @isaguha @davidwarner31 and watch them work their magic on commentary. After the match, I was heartbroken to hear that @rashwin99 has retired. He’s the most intelligent cricketer, who played the game like chess! I’ll really miss him and all his variations on the field.
This could possibly also be the last Test match on this historic ground, as it’s supposed to be broken down for renovations. So, lots of memories to take back with me.
1-1 see you’ll at Boxing Day 🙌🏽
