IND vs AUS Top 3 Bowlers to watch out for in India vs Australia Champions Trophy Semi Final Match 1

After over ten days of high-octane cricketing action Champions Trophy 2025 is set to witness its first knock out match. Rohit Sharma and Steve Smith will lead their teams onto the park as India and Australia will contest in the first semi-finals of the tournament. 

One of the key aspects from the game will be the bowling as the wickets in Dubai has been tad bit difficult to score runs. Spin bowlers have had an amazing time with the ball in the last few games at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Even the pacers with the ability to bowl slower balls have done well and made run-scoring difficult at this venue. 

While Australia’s batting remains strong their bowling has taken a huge hit. The unavailability of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood has played a huge part. Steve Smith will hope that his pacers and can spinners come up with the good against an in-form Indian side. Rohit Sharma on the other hand will bank on his spinner to bamboozle the Australian batting unit. 

Here are the top three bowlers to watch out for from IND vs AUS game on Tuesday

3- Kuldeep Yadav 

 Team India’s ace spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be one of the bowlers to watch out for in the first semi-finals against Australia. The 30-year-old has taken five wickets from three games in the ongoing tournament. Kuldeep has played 22 ODI matches against Australia and picked 31 wickets which also includes a hattrick. With his natural variation and ability to flight the ball, Kuldeep Yadav will pose huge threat to the Australian batters. 

2- Adam Zampa
