IND vs AUS: Fans demand revenge in semi-finals..!?

As the indian team is about to play against australia in the 2025 Champions Trophy, fans are posting on social media that india must definitely avenge the team by defeating that team. Let's see what is the background to this. australia has always been a dream for india in international series like the World Cup. During the period when the indian team led by sourav ganguly was growing into a major team in the world, the indian team qualified for the 2003 One-Day international world cup final. However, australia defeated india in that final and won the World Cup. Exactly 20 years later, the same incident happened again to the indian team led by Rohit Sharma. It is a bittersweet moment for the fans. The indian team had also advanced to the final of the 2023 One-Day international World Cup. But australia defeated india and won the World Cup.
Australia has defeated india in two such world cup finals. australia had also defeated india in the 2023 World Test Championship. Fans are definitely expressing their desire that the indian team should avenge this now. Currently, australia has participated in three group round matches in the Champions Trophy series. One match was abandoned due to rain. In another match, the Australian team was abandoned due to rain after batting only 12 overs. Therefore, the Australian team currently does not have much competition experience.
Also, in this series, the Australian team has played its matches only in pakistan so far. Since this is the first time that india will be playing in the semi-final against india in this series at the dubai stadium, the team may not have much understanding of this pitch and the conditions. The indian team must make good use of this and definitely defeat australia in the semi-finals. Only then are they saying, will they get consolation for the blow that australia gave to india in the two world cup finals? Will the Rohit Sharma-led indian team do that? Let's wait and see.
