Rohit Sharma Press Conference: The first semi -final match of the Champions Trophy will be played between India and Australia on Tuesday. On the eve of this match, Team India captain Rohit Sharma came to the press conference. During this time, he asked him about the questions arising on the benefits of Team India in Dubai. Captain Rohit gave a befitting reply to this. All matches of Team India Tournament (Champions Trophy 2025) are playing at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, even if India reaches the final, the title will also be on this ground.
The Champions Trophy is the host of 2025 Pakistan. However, the BCCI had already made it clear that it could not send its team to Pakistan for security reasons. It was decided that India will play all its matches in Dubai. Host Pakistan also had to come to Dubai to play a group stage against India. Many people have raised questions on this, according to them other teams are playing on different grounds while India will play on only one ground.
It was said that if Team India wants to play on the same venue during the tournament, then it will not have to travel. While other teams will travel between Pakistan and Dubai. When asked about this, captain Rohit Sharma was asked in the press conference, then he responded to it.
Dubai is not our home, we do not even know about the pitch- Rohit Sharma
“It is not that we know what is going to happen on these pitches. We do not know which pitch will be used in the semi -finals, but whatever it is, we have to mold accordingly and see how it is. And this is not our house, it is Dubai. It is Dubai. We do not play a lot of matches here, it is also new for us.”
Rohit Sharma further said, “The nature of the surface was the same in the 3 matches that our team has played, but the pitch treated differently in all matches.
Against New Zealand, we noticed that when their fast bowlers swing and seam the ball. In the last two matches, our bowlers were bowling first and then we did not see so. And in the evening, the weather is slightly cold here, so the ball is likely to swing.
