Virat Kohli’s masterful 84-run knock guided India to a four-wicket victory over Australia in the first Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai on Tuesday.
The former skipper once again proved his brilliance in pressure chases, anchoring the innings with precision and building vital partnerships in the middle overs.
With this win, India advance to their third consecutive Champions Trophy final, where they will face New Zealand or South Africa on Sunday at the same venue.
In the 2017 final, India fell short against Pakistan, but now they have another shot at claiming the Champions Trophy title.
