Who is knocking the Indian team playing in Dubai

New DelhiYou must have heard the proverb of grapefruit, that is, if you do not get it or you are not going to meet, then you start breaking it on someone else. Something similar is being seen in the Champions Trophy where the players of some teams have already accepted that the India Trophy has won.

Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy, but the Indian team did not go to Pakistan. Actually, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, is playing their matches in Dubai under India Hybrid model. Recently, South African cricketer Van Dar Dusen and Australia’s Pat Cummins said that the Indian team is getting the benefit of playing in Dubai.

Khisiani team cursed Dubai

For a moment, it should be assumed that if the Indian team had gone to Pakistan, will they not be able to perform as they are doing in Dubai. Or if Team India would play in Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, would the situation be different? Would it be difficult for the Indian team to play in Lahore compared to Dubai? Actually, Van Dar Dusen and Pat Cummins claims do not have the strength, because if the Indian team goes on Pakistan and plays all their matches in Lahore, then the situation would not have been different from Dubai, because even here India does not have to play on different plains. The way runs scored on the pitch of Gaddafi Stadium and the spinners benefited, one thing is clear that the Indian team does not matter to play in Lahore.

Remember the tour of 2006

The Indian team last visited Pakistan for about 17 years ago. Then India won the 5 ODI series 4–1. Sachin scored a century in Peshawar and Dhoni scored a bang innings. In the third match played in Lahore again, Sachin and Doni went on, then Sachin scored 95 runs and Dhoni scored 72 runs off 46 balls. Yuvraj Singh’s bat was thunder in the final match of the series. Yuvraj, who made a small contribution in the first four matches, scored a century in Karachi and he was the man of the series. This was the tour that started showing dominance of the Indian team and defeated Pakistan unilaterally by entering their house.
