India continued their dominant run in the Champions Trophy 2025, securing a place in their fifth tournament final with a four-wicket win over Australia on March 4. The Men in Blue delivered a well-rounded performance, excelling in both batting and bowling to chase down a competitive total set by the Aussies.
Ravindra Jadeja was one of the standout performers, showcasing his all-round brilliance yet again. The left-arm spinner delivered a tight eight-over spell, conceding just 40 runs while picking up the crucial wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Inglis. His economical bowling stifled Australia’s middle order, making life easier for the Indian chase.
Beyond the intense on-field action, the match also had its share of light-hearted moments. A stump mic conversation between Ravindra Jadeja, wicketkeeper KL Rahul, and skipper Rohit Sharma had fans in splits.

As Rohit suggested Rahul take a slip for the final three balls of the over, Rahul quipped that only one ball had turned so far. Ravindra Jadeja, in his usual witty manner, interrupted, saying, “Aap dono baatein karo, main tab tak teen ball daal deta hu” (You guys keep talking, and in the meantime, I’ll bowl the remaining three deliveries).
Jab tak baat hogi, ek aur over hojayegi! 🤣
