India and Australia will clash at the Dubai International Stadium, UAE, in the semi-final 1 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. So far, India is on an unbeaten run in the tournament and has defeated teams like Bangladesh, New Zealand, and its arch-rivals Pakistan in the league stage. On the other hand, Australia won only 1 game in the three matches played. After winning the first against England, the remaining two were washed away by rain. A clash between these two teams is always joyful to watch, as both teams are known to give their all in the game. There are some key players both teams possess who are known for their game-changing abilities, and here is the list of those players who can decide the course of the semi-final 1 at the Dubai International Stadium.
Virat Kohli And Shreyas Iyer
Former India captain Virat Kohli played his 300th ODI match against New Zealand. Though he didn’t have a great match, his abilities to determine the pace of the game are well-known. In the match against Pakistan, he proved how a high-intensity game brings the best out of him.
The Right-handed batter, Shreyas Iyer, played the role of a rational middle-order batter, scoring crucial fifties in the match against Pakistan and New Zealand. In the game against Australia, he will be the key player in the middle order.
Adam Zampa and Travis Head
Australia’s leg-spinner Adam Zampa is a smart spinner who can utilize the conditions of Dubai’s pitch to his advantage. He has the record of troubling Virat Kohli and getting his wicket multiple times whenever they clash. In fact, Virat Kohli struggled to play leg-spinners in the tournament, and Adam Zampa can be the batter’s kryptonite.
Travis Head is one of those batters from the Australian side who has troubled the Indian side more than anyone in recent years. He has been a headache for Indian bowlers in all the formats of the game. The left-handed batter has an excellent record against India and will try to maintain that against the Blue team.
Varun Chakravarthy
Indian mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy had a great last match, picking up the fifer against New Zealand. India will induct him into the playing XI to utilize him against Australian batters in the big game. In the middle overs, if he manages to dismiss batters of the Australian side, India can dominate the bowling game.
