Champions Trophy semis: How India buried ghosts of Ahmedabad 2023 in Dubai

India Today  

The ghosts of Ahmedabad 2023 had never truly been buried. But cricket, like fate, often deals in second chances, and when India stepped onto the floodlit stage in Dubai on March 4, they did not just come to win; they came to exorcise demons. Rahul’s bat found the winning runs, the roar that erupted from the Indian contingent was not of mere triumphit symbolised a weight being lifted, old wounds finally beginning to heal. Since their quarter-final victory in 2011, India had met Australia four times in International Cricket Council one day international tournaments, winning two and losing two. Shami dismissed Cooper Connolly for a duck, then removed the lynchpin Steve Smith for 73a crucial moment that all but snapped the spine of Australia’s innings.
