India showcase depth and adaptability with Champions Trophy wins, proving they don’t need a Dubai advantage
FirstpostIndian cricket team holds an advantage in Dubai? Confirmation that India won’t play in Pakistan came towards the last quarter of last year and in December – a day before Christmas – the ICC announced the schedule of the hybrid model event. Dubai pitches are no mystery to any cricket team Hardly anyone harped on the ‘unfair advantage’ that was being bestowed on India in the two months leading up to the event from the time the schedule was made public. At home against England last month, they were greeted by grand batting surfaces that allowed them to be themselves; within days of their 3-0 rout of England – the team that can’t seem to buy an ODI win in the subcontinent – they were forced to recalibrate and refocus because if they continued to place all their eggs in the attacking basket in Dubai, those same eggs would be on their faces. India’s four wins on the bounce – they are sitting on a seven-match winning streak and have won 18 and tied one of their last 23 ODIs, starting with their World Cup opener against Australia in Chennai on 8 October 2023 – haven’t come about by accident.
