Mohammed Shami believes that playing all games in Dubai is advantageous for India in the Champions Trophy 2025. He expressed confidence in knowing the conditions and pitch behavior, contrary to the views of the Indian team management. Shami’s comments have sparked debate among critics who question the fairness of India playing all matches in Dubai. However, skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir maintain a different perspective, emphasizing that Dubai is not their home ground and they do not have extensive experience playing there. The debate was further fueled by Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton, who discussed India’s perceived advantage in Dubai on a Sky Sports podcast. India will face New Zealand in the final at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, marking their fifth consecutive match at the venue. Despite differing opinions, the team remains focused on the upcoming challenge.
