The Australian High Commission hosted an Inclusive Blind Cricket Exhibition Match on Friday as part of its 'Development4All' campaign.

The Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Thawarchand Gehlot, flipped the coin to decide which team would bat first.

Australia's Deputy High Commissioner Chris Elstoft and the minister also played for a while before the game started.

The two teams - A and B - featured a mix of players from the Indian Blind Cricket team and diplomats from the Australian, British and New Zealand High Commissions.

Team A won the game.
