Narendra Modi Stadium Receives Bomb Threat Ahead During This India Match

A bomb threat email sent on Wednesday triggered a security alert in Ahmedabad, with the Narendra Modi Stadium among the locations mentioned in the message. The development came as heightened attention remained around the venue, which is currently hosting cricket and is also scheduled to stage a major concert next month.

Security agencies were alerted and authorities began assessing the Narendra Modi Stadium bomb threat, while initial checks at other Ahmedabad locations targeted by similar emails did not uncover anything suspicious. The timing of the message also brought the stadium’s ongoing cricket activity into focus, as both teams were present at the venue when the email was received.

Which Cricket Match Received Bomb Threat?

The email was received during the IND U19 vs AUS U19 2nd Youth Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground A in Ahmedabad. The match began on October 5 and was scheduled to run until October 8.
According to the details emerging on Wednesday, the bomb threat in Narendra Modi Stadium came while both the two Under-19 squads were at the venue. The match had concluded at around 11:15 am IST, meaning that the players had been at the venue when the security alert surfaced.
The email also referenced the upcoming Diljit Dosanjh concert, which is scheduled at the Narendra Modi Stadium, arguably the best cricket stadium in the world, on November 21, 2026. Authorities have treated the threats seriously, although security checks at locations mentioned in related emails found no suspicious objects. Police, bomb-detection teams, dog squads and anti-sabotage units were deployed for searches.

After taking 6/32 in Australia's first innings, the left-arm orthodox spinner returned with 8/41 in the second innings as Australia were bowled out for 151. India needed only 11 runs to win and completed the chase without losing a wicket.
