Champions Trophy 2025, IND vs AUS semifinal: Kohli-inspired India breaks the Australian hoodoo

For the second time in ten days, Virat Kohli lived up to his reputation as the ‘Chasemaster’ in ODIs, scoring a fine half-century (84, 98b, 5x4) to power India into the final of the Champions Trophy with a four-wicket win over Australia in the first semifinal here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (March 4, 2025).

The 36-year-old, like he did during his unbeaten century against Pakistan in the league game, played a measured knock, shunning risks and nudging the ball around while maintaining a healthy strike rate.
