Despite Team India announcing themselves at the ICC Champions Trophy with a resounding win over Bangladesh, Yuvraj Singh feels that they might not be at an advantage in their next high-profile game. Rohit Sharma’s men are set to battle it out in a much-anticipated game against hosts Pakistan on February 23. The former Indian all-rounder, who knows a thing or two about winning ICC events, feels that Pakistan is more accustomed to playing in Dubai than India.

Speaking to ‘JioHotstar’s Greatest Rivarly Returns’ event, Yuvraj Singh iterated that Pakistan will have the benefit of playing more matches at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (DICS). As compared to India’s 7 ODIs, Pakistan have played 22 one-day internationals at the venue, giving weight to Yuvraj’s statement.
“I actually think Pakistan has an advantage because they have a base in Dubai. They have played a lot of cricket there and understand the conditions well. You talk about match-winners–yes, I agree with Shahid Afridi that we have more match-winners. But I believe that even if Pakistan has fewer match-winners, one player can still take the game away. The India-Pakistan clash is not about match-winners alone; it’s about playing in the moment, adapting to the situation, and not letting expectations overwhelm you. The team that does this better will win the game for their country,” he concluded.
