Narcissistic tendencies are often seen as a negative personality trait, but for some politicians, it can be a tool to gain public approval and maintain their power. 

This is the case with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On 24th February 2021, a cricket stadium formerly named Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium was named Narendra Modi Stadium, in an attempt to boost his public image. 

With the country set to hold a cricket world cup this year,  and the final match most probably being held at the stadium, the election year looming, 

it is worth analyzing the potential impact that a win for the cricket team could have on Narendra Modi's image.

In the current scenario, the prime minister has already demonstrated his 

tendency towards self-aggrandizement by naming a stadium after himself.

 This act alone has drawn criticism from some quarters, but it has also given the prime minister a sense of legitimacy.

If the final match takes place at his stadium, 

he has set the stage for a potential public relations coup,

The election year, early next year provides a perfect opportunity for the prime minister to make a statement to the public and boost his image. 

If the cricket team were to win the world cup, it would significantly impact the public's perception of the prime minister.

Furthermore, the prime minister's presence at the final match, especially if the team wins, 

would provide an opportunity for him to bask in the glory of the victory and use it to his advantage in the election year.
