In the Champions Trophy semifinal between India and Australia, an amusing on-field incident unfolded involving Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul. Known for his rapid bowling pace, Jadeja often completes his overs in under a minute. During one of his overs, Kohli and Rahul engaged in a brief discussion about field placements. Rahul observed, "It's not turning much," to which Kohli suggested, "Take a slip. Three balls are left. One may spin." Rahul responded, "Only one ball has turned thus far." Impatient with the interruption, Jadeja quipped, "You guys keep talking, and in the meantime, I'll bowl the remaining three deliveries."

Shortly after this exchange, Jadeja broke the partnership between Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, trapping Labuschagne LBW. He then dismissed Josh Inglis, who chipped the ball to Kohli at covers. Reflecting on the pitch conditions, Jadeja noted, "The wicket is better than the last game, not much spin." He emphasized the importance of a strong start and sensible play in the initial overs. Jadeja concluded with impressive figures of 2/40, complementing Mohammed Shami's 3/48, as India bowled out Australia for 264.
