「Gro Grow Up」：Gambhirは、チャンピオンズトロフィーファイナルでのインドの嵐の後、サイバー「ドバイアドバンテージ」に戻ります

India cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir did not mince any words while responding to critics decrying the side’s “Dubai advantage”. Many players, former cricketers experts and pundits have accused India of having an unfair advantage by playing all their matches at just one venue. Gambhir did not hold back while slamming these perpetual cribbers after India defeated Australia to qualify for the Champions Trophy final.

“Kaunsa advantage?”: Gambhir’s dig at critics

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the India head coach pointed out that the team was practicing at the ICC Academy and not at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium where the matches were being played. Gambhir asked what advantage do India have, while also pointing out that some of them were perpetual cribbers who needed to grow up.

“Kaunsi undue advantage? We practice at ICC Academy where conditions are different from what we get here at the stadium. Some people are perpetual cribbers, they need to grow up,” Gambhir said.

Earlier, skipper Rohit Sharma had also explained why India did not enjoy any home advantage while playing all their matches in Dubai.

“Look, the three matches we played, the nature of the surface was the same. But in all three games, the pitch has behaved differently. Today, we saw that when the bowlers were bowling with the new ball, it was swinging a little. We didn’t see that in the first two games when our bowlers were bowling. And in the evening, it’s a little cold in the air. So, there are obviously a lot of chances of that swing. We know this. But in the three games we played, there are four or five surfaces that are being used. So, every surface has a different nature. We don’t know which wicket will be played,” Rohit Sharma said before India’s semifinal against Australia.
