With the world’s largest cricket stadium underneath packed to the brim by euphoric fans, the Surya Kiran Acrobatic Team of the Indian Air Force put on a spectacular show before the World Cup final between India and Australia here on Sunday.
A total of nine Hawk Mk-132 SKAT aircrafts of the IAF created history as it is the first time that they produced an aerial show ahead of any cricket match in India, and it is only fitting that their maiden show took place before a World Cup final.
The Surya Kiran team pilots, a part of the 52nd Squadron of the Indian Air Force, produced a 10-minute show before the toss at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which has a capacity of more than 1,30,000.
