A dramatic moment unfolded in the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final between India and Australia at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Australia, after posting 264 runs, had a golden opportunity to dismiss Rohit Sharma early, but a dropped catch by Marnus Labuschagne gave the Indian skipper a lifeline.

Marnus Labuschagne Fails to Repeat Travis Head’s Iconic Catch

The incident happened in the third over of India’s innings when Ben Dwarshuis bowled a full-length delivery to Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain, known for his aggressive approach, went for a big shot but mistimed it. The ball went high in the air, giving Labuschagne a chance to take a crucial catch.

The moment was eerily similar to Travis Head’s brilliant grab in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, where he dismissed Rohit Sharma in a game-changing moment. However, this time, Labuschagne couldn’t hold on, leaving Head visibly disappointed as he watched from a distance.

India had a shaky start to their chase of 265 runs, with Shubman Gill departing early for a single-digit score. However, the experienced duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli steadied the innings.

As of writing, India were 43 for 1, with Kohli batting on 28 and Rohit on 5.** With the match hanging in the balance, will Australia regret the missed chance?
