With all of India’s matches scheduled at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Rohit Sharma and his team will have a great opportunity to practice and fine-tune their strategies in the same conditions. And Aakash Chopra believes that this could be a major factor in the Men in Blue’s success in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Notably, the semifinals and final will also be held in Dubai if the Men in Blue qualify, and then again familiarity will work in favor of the team.
Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Only we know about Dubai; the opposing team has no idea. This thing was about Pakistan as they are playing in home conditions. So, whoever goes there won't know the pitches that well. Similarly, everyone will have to come to Dubai.”

Just think about it—Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and then there is Rishabh Pant's possibility, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel batting brilliantly these days, and you have batting till Ravindra Jadeja. Jaddu comes at No. 8.”
