Anthem Mix-Up Stuns Gaddafi Stadium as India’s Tune Plays Before Australia-England Clash

In a surprising turn of events at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ was mistakenly played instead of Australia’s ‘Advance Australia Fair’ ahead of the high-stakes clash between Australia and England at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The mix-up left both the Aussie players and the crowd in bewilderment until the error was swiftly corrected.

The confusion was particularly noteworthy, considering that India is not scheduled to play any of its matches in Lahore during the tournament. Due to India’s decision to avoid travelling to Pakistan, a hybrid model was adopted, with India playing all its fixtures in Dubai.

ICC-hosted events traditionally commence with the national anthems of the competing teams post-toss, offering a ceremonial prelude to the game.

Australia, led by stand-in captain Steven Smith, chose to bowl first after winning the toss. The team faced a reshuffle with regular captain Pat Cummins, along with Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, sidelined due to injuries and personal reasons. In addition, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis announced his surprise retirement from ODIs.

Filling the void, fast bowlers Ben Dwarshius, Nathan Ellis, and Spencer Johnson were included in the playing XI, with Adam Zampa as the only frontline spinner. Australia’s recent form has been shaky, with a series of losses against Pakistan and a whitewash in Sri Lanka marring their preparation.

England, entering the tournament after a 3-0 series defeat in India, promoted wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith to No. 3, with Joe Root taking the No. 4 spot. Smith, having recovered from a calf injury, replaced Phil Salt as the wicketkeeper. England’s bowling lineup relies heavily on the pace duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer, supplemented by Brydon Carse.

As the match unfolds, both teams are eager to secure a victory in their opening Group B game, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter at the Champions Trophy.
