Ind vs Aus Live Score: Here is what Indian captain Rohit Sharma said after the win
Ind vs Aus Live Score: "Till the last ball is bowled, nothing is certain. At the halfway stage, we felt like it's a reasonable score. The nature of the pitch doesn't allow you play your shots. We were clinical with the bat. We were calm and composed in our chase. Looked better (pitch). Slightly played better than the one against NZ. It's about playing good cricket. There are a lot of experienced guys. That's something I wanted to have - six bowling options and at the same get that batting depth as well. Credit goes to everyone who were involved in making the team. He's done it for so many years. When we wee batting, we were calm. Those shots in the end by Hardik were crucial," Rohit Sharma said.
Ind vs Aus Live Score: Here is what Australian captain Steve Smith said after being knocked out from the tournament
Ind vs Aus Live Score: "I thought the bowlers did a really good job, they worked hard throughout, the spinners squeezed and took the game deep. It was a tricky wicket to start on batting, tough to rotate the strike, everyone did a really good job tonight. It played pretty similar throughout. Little bit of hold for the spinners, little bit of spin and a bit of skid. For the pacers, it was two-paced. We probably could have got a few more on. We lost a couple of wickets at crucial times. If we got 280+, things would have been different. Felt like we were one wicket too many down at each stage of the game. The way we've come together. The bowling unit did a wonderful job, some of the batters stood up. We played exceptionally well against England. Some really good cricketers, they are going to get bigger and better," Smith said.
Ind vs Aus Live Score: Here is what Virat Kohli said after the Player of Match
Ind vs Aus Live Score: "It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. It is about understanding the conditions and rotating the strike because partnerships on its pitch are important. it all depends on the conditions and then I play my innings. My timing, my composure at the crease, I wasn't rushed. The singles that I took was the most pleasing part for me. This game is all about pressure. If you go deep into the game, the opposition usually give in. It is important to control your impulses. Even if the RR is six an over, I am not bothered. [Best he has ever played?] I don't know. That is up to you guys to break down. I have never focused on those things. When you don't think of those milestones, they happen. If I get to the three-figure mark, great, but the win is important. For me, those things don't matter anymore," said Virat Kohli.

What a sensational moment for India as Varun Chakaravarthy gets the breakthrough on just his second delivery!

Ind vs Aus Live Score: 50 up for Australia

Ind vs Aus Live Score: A change in bowling for India
Ind vs Aus Live Score: Rohit Sharma has turned to spin now, as Kuldeep Yadav comes in action. He keeps the line and length almost consistent but ends up giving a few singles. Smith and Head would be looking to build a partnership here. After six overs, Aus are 36/1.
Ind vs Aus Live Score: Back to back boundaries for Head
Ind vs Aus Live Score: Travis Head continues his momentum from the last over. A hat-trick of FOURs in Shami's over. Sheer brilliance and mind you the delivery wasn't as bad. 14 runs from the over, Aus are 31/1.
Interestingly, in the first 11 balls, India conceded merely 1 run. However, the last eight balls, the bowlers conceded 25 runs.

Ind vs Aus Live Score: A FOUR and a SIX from that over!
Ind vs Aus Live Score: Travis Head looks to have found some momentum in that fourth over. Head gets a hold of a length ball pitched around middle and leg, shifting to the leg side slightly. He aims to drive it down the ground, but it’s mistimed just enough to evade Shubman Gill at mid-off, veering to his left and racing to the boundary.
The next ball, Head gets even better. SIX! That’s the first confident strike of the day, and it might just be the first loose delivery we've seen in this match, aside from the initial wide. It's a half-volley on middle and leg, and Travis Head remains composed as he effortlessly flicks it over square leg for a maximum!

India vs Australia Live Score: India captain Rohit Sharma dismissed suggestions that they have had an unfair advantage by being allowed to play all their Champions Trophy matches in Dubai.
Rohit denied they held any advantage and said surfaces at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium behaved differently.
"There are four or five surfaces that are being used and every surface has a different nature," the opener said ahead of Tuesday's semi-final against Australia.
"The pitches look the same, but when you play on it, it has played in a different way. So, you can't go thinking 'we played like this yesterday, and today we'll play like this'.
"We don't know which pitch is going to be played in the semi-final. But whatever happens, we have to adapt and see what is happening.
"This is not our home, this is Dubai. We don't play so many matches here. This is new for us too."
