Dubai is not our home: Rohit Sharma dismisses unfair advantage criticism

India Today  

Captain Rohit Sharma dismissed claims that India had an unfair advantage by playing all their Champions Trophy 2025 matches in Dubai. India stormed into the last-four stage of the tournament, comfortably outclassing Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand in their Group A matches in Dubai. Rohit was responding to pundits, including former England captains Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton, who claimed that India playing all their matches in Dubai without travelling was an "undeniable advantage." DUBAI PITCH IS A QUESTION MARK EVEN FOR US: ROHIT India will face Australia in Dubai in the first semi-final on Tuesday, while South Africa and New Zealand will play in Lahore in the second semi-final on Wednesday.
