IND VS AUS Champions Trophy 2025 Key highlights: Australian spinner Ashton Agar lauded India star batter Virat Kohli following India defeated Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semi-finals.
Speaking on ESPNcricinfo's Match Day, Ashton Agar said, ""It is not the damage that he can do to the fence, it's just the fact that you cannot build pressure on him. So it's really hard to get him out in a sense. You never really feel like you're on top of him unless the ball is really spinning. And you don't get a lot of pitches in one-day cricket like that."
He added, "That's the frustrating part about bowling to him. He has this fantastic ability to hit your best ball, the top of middle stump, slightly spinning away, he holds the bat's face slightly longer than other batters do, opens it in the last second, and hits it in the cover point gap. He's probably the best in the world at doing that and he's very difficult to build pressure on."
IND VS AUS Champions Trophy 2025 Key highlights: After losing to India in the semi-final clash at Dubai, Australia's skipper Steve Smith, during the post-match press conference on Tuesday night said, as quoted by PTI, "I'm not buying into it (India's familiarity with pitch and condition). India obviously played some really good cricket here. The surface kind of suits their style with the spinners that they've got."

India vs Australia LIVE SCORE: Following his side's win over Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy semifinal, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir hailed skipper Rohit Sharma, saying that his high strike rate sends a "good signal" to the team.
It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. It is about understanding the conditions and rotating the strike because partnerships on its pitch are important. it all depends on the conditions and then I play my innings. My timing, my composure at the crease, I wasn't rushed. The singles that I took was the most pleasing part for me. This game is all about pressure. If you go deep into the game, the opposition usually give in. It is important to control your impulses. Even if the RR is six an over, I am not bothered. [Best he has ever played?] I don't know. That is up to you guys to break down. I have never focused on those things. When you don't think of those milestones, they happen. If I get to the three-figure mark, great, but the win is important. For me, those things don't matter anymore.
