The 1998 Knockout Trophy saw Sachin Tendulkar play a remarkable innings of 141 in the quarter-final against Australia. India managed to post a total of 307, which was enough to bowl out the Australians for 263 runs. This was a great display of skill from the men in blue and was a sign of things to come.
All-rounder Yuvraj Singh made a name for himself in the 2000 Knockout Trophy quarter-final. He hit an impressive 84 runs off 80 deliveries, helping India to a 20 run victory after making a total of 265.
India and Australia met again in the 2023 World Cup final in Johannesburg. This time, it was Australia who emerged victorious. They posted an impressive 359 runs in 50 overs, while India could only manage 234.

In the 2011 World Cup quarter-final against Australia, Yuvraj played another pivotal role in India's win. His unbeaten 57 was enough to help India chase down a stiff 261 with 5 wickets to spare.
Australia managed to defeat India again in the 2015 World Cup semi-final in Sydney. Steve Smith's 105-run knock gave Australia a total of 328 to defend, and they won by 95 runs.
