Now, let’s explore all the records created and broken in the ongoing matches in Australia and India in the semifinals of the ICC Championship.

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli added another achievement in his cricket career by surpassing most catches in the International (ODI) (ODI). In the semifinals of the ICC Championship trophy against Australia on March 4, 2025, Kohli scored two key catches, with his stats reaching 161 and surpassing Ponting’s 160.

Kohli’s record-breaking moment was when he grabbed Josh Inglis from Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling ball, equivalent to Ponting’s record. Later, he ranked first among active players by capturing Nathan Ellis in the 49th game. This milestone highlights Kohli’s consistency as a fielder and its lasting impact on Indian cricket.

Most captures in ODI history (top 3):

  • Mahela Jayawardene (Sri Lanka): 218 catches
  • Virat Kohli (India): 161 catches
  • Ricky Ponting (Australia): 160 catches

With Kohli still active in international cricket, it is very likely that he will expand his record further in the upcoming matches.

2. India loses 14 consecutive scrambles

Indian captain Rohit Sharma found himself in the wrong side of luck, losing 11 consecutive tosses in One Day International (ODI), setting an unfortunate record. This winning streak further extended on Tuesday (March 4), with 14 consecutive losses scrambling, which is the longest loss in ODI’s history. It is worth noting that this difficult luck began in the ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad during the ODI World Cup final against Australia.

The latest example of Rohit’s failure occurred in India’s semi-final against Australia in Dubai. Australian captain Steven Smith won the game and chose to hit the ball first in challenging dry conditions.

With this streak, Rohit Sharma now has the third consecutive loss of any captain in ODI history.

3. In the ICC ODI knockout round, most wickets in India:

Mohammed Shami recorded in the ICC Championship 2025 semifinals and became the third highest ticket inspector in India’s ICC competition.

  • Zaheer Khan: 17 wickets (average: 28.64)
  • Sachin Tendulkar: 15 wickets (average: 26.66)
  • Mohammed Shami: 13 wickets* (Average: 19.76)
  • Harbhajan Singh: 11 wickets (average: 29.27)

As the second round unfolded, everyone’s eyes were staring at the pursuit of India’s No. 265, and the pressure grew in this high-stakes semi-final. With Virat Kohli’s breaking record and Rohit Sharma’s abandonment, the race continues to be a roller coaster of emotions.
