Australia’s relationship with India has entered “T-20” mode, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after meeting his counterpart Anthony Albanese, referring to a shortened, fast-paced cricket format popular in both countries.

“This is our sixth meeting in the past one year. This reflects a depth in our comprehensive relations, confidence in our views and the maturity of our ties,” Modi told reporters in Sydney on Wednesday. “In the language of cricket, our ties have entered the T-20 mode.”
