IND vs AUS semifinal, Champions Trophy: What is Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's ODI record against Australia?

India and Australia are set to clash in the first semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, March 4. This eagerly awaited match will add another exciting chapter to the fierce rivalry between India and Australia in cricket. The Men in Blue are looking to move past their defeat in the ODI World Cup 2023 final and are eager for revenge against Australia.

India won the Champions Trophy title in 2013 in England and previously shared it with Sri Lanka in 2002. Australia, in contrast, has claimed the Champions Trophy in 2006 and 2009.

India comes into this match with strong momentum after a decisive win in their last group match against New Zealand, making them the only team to win all three of their group matches. Australia, however, secured their place in the semifinals with just one win in the tournament, finishing second in group B.

Even with Australia missing some key bowlers, all eyes will be on India's star players like Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma, who are essential for leading the team to victory.
