In a stunning performance, Steve Smith and Alex Carey set their sights on Rohit Sharma and India, putting together a 54-run stand in just 58 deliveries and powering Australia to the highest total made in the Dubai leg of the Champions Trophy. Despite India's familiarity with the conditions, a new surface caused some doubts and Australia's well-researched game plan left India struggling. Smith's 96-ball stay showcased his batting prowess, adapting to the pitch and avoiding risky shots to lead his team to victory.
Australian cricketer Travis Head's aggressive innings was cut short by Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy, sparking controversy over a dropped catch.

India's Mohammed Shami and Varun Chakravarthy both took three wickets each in a high-stakes semi-final match at the Champions Trophy in Dubai.
In the semi-final match of the ICC Champions Trophy between India and Australia, Australian skipper Steve Smith leads his team to a total of 264 all out. While Smith scored a fluent 73, Australian batters struggled to capitalize on a smooth pitch and threw away their wickets through unwise shots. Despite this, Smith was able to build partnerships with Travis Head and Alex Carey, who scored a quickfire 61, to bring Australia to a slightly sub-par total. However, a disciplined bowling effort from the Indian team kept the Australian team in check and in the end, their total of 264 seemed slightly short for the clash between two powerful teams.
Alex Carey's impressive fielding skills helped guide Australia to a win against England in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

In the second Test against Sri Lanka, Alex Carey's impressive form continued as he scored the highest score by an Australian keeper in over ten years.

His record-breaking performance has solidified his position as a key player in the Test side.

After a delayed start due to rain, Jasprit Bumrah's impressive bowling performance, including dismissing Mitchell Starc, and Alex Carey's quick half-century helped India gain control of the third day of the third Test match against Australia at the Gabba. Carey showed his prowess with the bat, smashing a 108m six, and putting on a solid partnership with Nathan Lyon before India wrapped up Australia's innings in 117.1 overs. Australian batsman Steve Smith praised Indian seamer Akash Deep's bowling, saying it was the first time he faced him.
With a blazing performance on Day 2, Indian cricket team's captain Jasprit Bumrah led the dismantling of Australia in the first innings of their test match. The fifth Indian player to take a five-wicket haul as a captain, Bumrah dominated the lower-order, including star batter Alex Carey, who was expected to revive his team's chances. A resilient stand between Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood helped Australia avoid a complete collapse, but it couldn't stop Bumrah from securing a lead and victory for India.
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah made history by picking his second consecutive fifer in Australia during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test.

Bumrah dismissed Alex Carey in just his first ball on Day 2 to achieve this feat, helping India gain the upper hand in the match.

Mitchell Starc and Alex Carey managed to salvage some hope for Australia, but with the dominant bowling performance by India, the hosts are facing an uphill battle. This match also raised questions about Virat Kohli's form, as the star batsman failed to produce a high-score once again.
