On the eve of the Trophy Championship finals, many believe that Team India had an unnecessary advantage, making it a conversation about the city. Team India will conclude the horns against New Zealand in the title decision at the International Krixket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (March 9).
Unlike other teams, Team India played all his games in the same place. On the other hand, New Zealand played his first two games in Pakistan before flying to Dubai for his last group game against India.
After that, New Zealand had to return to Pakistan once again for the semifinals against South Africa before returning to Dubai for the finals. India, on the other hand, did not travel to Pakistan for a tournament for geopolitical problems.
Many believe that playing in the same place gave India a great advantage. He barely passed one day since the start of the champion trophy when there is no talk of the assumed advantage of India.
Ravicharndran Ashwin in India gets an unnecessary advantage:
Even on the eve of the finals, it became the main point of conversation, and former Indian Spinner Ravicharndran Ashwin has now shared its views on the same. India Great has launched a terrible attack on those who undermine India’s performance in the tournament, which is ongoing saying that the team was given the advantage of playing in Dubai.
“The tournaments were won on the basis of the performance, not the excuse,” Ravicharndran Ashwin said on his Hindi YouTube channel “Ash Ki Baat”.
“I laugh when people set up our captain and train the same question of having the advantage of playing in Dubai. In the 2009 champion trophy, South Africa played all her games in the same place, and even then they failed to qualify for the knockouts. It was not the fault of South Africa that they did not qualify at the time.”
Talking further, Ravicharndran Ashwin praised the performance of Team India in the ongoing tournament, calling it solid. Team India is the only undefeated side in the tournament. They won all their group games, including those against New Zealand, before defeating the ruling world champions in Australia in the semifinals.
“India is in the final because they played solid cricket. No matter what was happening in the finals, they deserved to be the finalists because of the kind of cricket they played. Please do not throw mud on our cries for someone else’s narrative,” Ravicharndran Ashwin said.
“I know a test team traveling to India, losing a series and then blaming it on the ground. Imagine an Indian crisler who comes out and utters such things if we lost the series abroad. We never do it.
“If India wins this trophy, we will win the title title.
“In the 2023 World Cup, we played in nine different places. I was with a team, I traveled with a team. I agree with David Miller, a one and a half hour flight increases lactic acid in your body. But you have to realize that the ICC schedule did not in the hands of the Indian team.
In the meantime, Team India will try to give an appropriate response to his critics by winning the tournament in progress. They were in excellent shape and will imagine their chances of winning New Zealand again to become the first team to win the champion trophy three times.
