IND vs AUS Dream11: Top 3 captaincy picks, Semi-final 1, ODI Champions Cup 2025

The IND vs AUS Semi-Final 1 clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be played on Tuesday in Dubai.

The best four teams of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 have made it to the semi-finals. Now, two teams among those will qualify for the final. Team India have been undefeated and finished Group A at the top. Australia finished second in Group B.

Now, these two sides will face each other in the first semi-final on Tuesday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This is going to be an epic clash as both teams are considered as favorites to lift the trophy. But only one of them will make it to the final.

This match will also be very important for fans active on the fantasy cricket platforms. Because both sides have a number of match-winners. In this article, we will talk about three potential captaincy picks for the IND vs AUS game on Tuesday.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for IND vs AUS, Semi-final 1, ICC Champions Trophy 2025

1. Travis Head

Travis Head is probably the main reason that Australia snatched two ICC titles from India in the recent past. Irrespective of his form, he loves bashing Indian bowlers and does it for fun. Though India had his answer in Jasprit Bumrah, he is not available now.

That is why Head can be more dangerous. He is someone who needs to be stopped at the start because once he settles, he will demolish the bowling attack. He looked good against Afghanistan and was at 59* off 40 when the rain came. He slammed two centuries in Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. His record against India is one big reason, we believe, he can be a great pick as captain for IND vs AUS Dream11 teams.

2. Rohit Sharma

The Indian captain Rohit Sharma has good and bad memories against Australia. He still has that Cricket World Cup 2023 final loss in his mind. Rohit then played a blinder against Australia during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit is playing aggressively in the powerplay, which is the best to do on this surface.

His aggressive intent makes him a dangerous batter. Australia don’t have their best bowling unit, and Rohit can make the most of this opportunity. Hence, he can be a great option for the captaincy on fantasy cricket platforms for IND vs AUS semi-final 1 clash.

3. Axar Patel

Axar Patel has been India’s underrated hero for the last year or so. This tournament as well, he has done a great job. Axar has earned 80, 74, and 117 fantasy cricket points in first three matches and is the most consistent Indian player.

That is why he can be another good option to pick as a captain in your Dream11 teams. He is currently batting at No. 5, taking wickets and catches as well. He can give points in all three departments and can make your team do well on fantasy cricket platforms.
