India Vs Australia Playing 11 Today:
India faces a crucial selection headache ahead of their Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final clash against Australia — how many spinners should they field? As the question came after Varun Chakravarthy’s superb performance in previous India vs New Zealand match where he took 5 wickets and become the man of the match.
The big question is whether to stick with the four-spinner combination that worked wonders against New Zealand or revert to three spinners and an additional pacer. However, a fresh pitch could tempt India to bolster their pace attack alongside Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
Even though Mohammed Shami hasn’t been at his best, India is unlikely to change their fast bowling combination. Skipper Rohit Sharma is expected to rely on the team’s strong spin attack to trouble Australia, with Varun Chakravarthy’s mystery spin adding an extra edge.
