What makes the moment even bigger is the fact that the Test happens to be a contest between the World’s No. 1 Test side — India — and the number two Test team — Australia. MCA President Abhay Apte said, “The MCA stadium is now one of the best boutique sporting grounds in India and we believe that it is at the right stage and the right position to host the first Test match. The state-of-the-art MCA Stadium has staged a total of 29 high-profile short-format matches, including two ODIs, two T20s and 25 IPL matches.
