Champions Trophy 2025: 'Jana Gana Mana' Mistakenly Played Before Australia-England Match

The Champions Trophy 2025 match between Australia and England (AUS vs. ENG) is taking place today at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first.

However, an unexpected incident occurred before the match. Instead of the Australian national anthem, the Indian national anthem, 'Jana Gana Mana,' was mistakenly played for a few seconds. This surprised Australian players and fans present in the stadium. The stadium organizers immediately stopped the anthem and then played the correct Australian national anthem.

Pakistan is the official host of the Champions Trophy 2025. However, due to security concerns, India refused to travel to Pakistan for the tournament. As a result, India's matches are being played in Dubai, UAE, instead.
