Aussie gives Adani a run for their mining contract

Earlier, two protestors burst into the Sydney cricket ground during the first match, holding placards against the Adani Enterprises’ mining company and State Bank of India.

During the sixth over, just before pacer Navdeep Saini was getting ready to bowl, one of the protesters interrupted the match with a placard that read 'NO $1B ADANI LOAN'. The two were escorted out by the security after their brief invasion of the pitch.

The protest was against the claims that the State Bank of India is considering to provide a loan of Rs 5,000 crore ($0.67 billion) to the Adani Enterprises’ mining company.

The company has been at the centre of controversy over its Carmichael Mine in central Queensland, with some contractors previously cutting ties with the project amid growing pressure from environmental groups.

Bravus will remain part of Adani Australia, which itself is part of a parent company, Indian mining giant Adani.

Indian energy giant Adani Group, which has been at the centre of controversy over its Carmichael mine in central Queensland, on Thursday changed the name of its Australian mining division to Bravus Mining and Resources.
