Champions Trophy: India Should Field Unchanged Playing XI For Australia Clash, Feels Shastri
Dubai International Stadium: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes the Rohit Sharma-led side should field an unchanged playing eleven for their all-important semi-final clash against Australia in Dubai, citing that they have experienced the conditions in their 44-run win over New Zealand.
India set up a semi-final showdown against Australia, scheduled for Tuesday, after beating New Zealand by 44 runs in the final Group A game of the 2025 Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium. Tuesday’s semi-final will be India’s first meeting against Australia in an ICC 50-over knockout game after the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which Rohit & Co. lost in Ahmedabad.
“I think I would go with the same eleven now because the turnaround time is less than 48 hours. The square is a little tired at the moment; people have run on the pitch that is going to be used the day after, so the spinners will again come into play,” said Shastri in an ICC video posted on their Instagram.
