ICC Champions Trophy semi-final: Five things to look out for when India meet Sri Lanka

1. MS Dhoni

Captain Cool has had little to do in the course of the tournament except give gleeful post-match interviews. He will definitely be called upon at the business end of the tournament in his capacity as a leader, and as a batsman. It was Dhoni’s memorable knock that propelled India to World Cup glory, and he might have to repeat the performance to get the better of the Sri Lankan juggernaut. He will be his usual self as he leads the team using his bowlers to the best effect and choking the opposition with clever field placements. His leadership can make the difference on the day.
