India head coach Gautam Gambhir put a full stop to the debate of India getting undue advantage of playing in a single venue in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy, stating the Men in Blue didn’t train at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India defeated Australia to enter the Champions Trophy final to be played on March 9.
A lot has been spoken about India playing all their Champions Trophy games in Dubai while the other teams are playing in different venues in Pakistan and even travelling between two countries.
Ever since Pakistan was announced as the hosts of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the BCCI has been firm in his stance of not sending the Indian team to Pakistan due to security reasons.
“There’s no undue advantage in India playing in Dubai. This venue is as neutral for us as it is for the others. We haven’t even practised once at this ground as of now. We practised at the ICC Academy,” said Gautam Gambhir during the post-match press conference on Tuesday.
