As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 commences, the Indian cricket team is set to play all its matches in Dubai due to security concerns in Pakistan.
Historically, India boasts an impressive ODI record in Dubai, winning 5 out of 6 matches played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium78. Their only non-victory was a tie against Afghanistan in 2018. Team India's success in Dubai includes two victories against Pakistan during the 2018 Asia Cup, which India went on to win7. Captain Rohit Sharma has been particularly prolific, scoring 317 runs in 5 ODIs at an average of 105.667. With all of India's Champions Trophy 2025 matches scheduled in Dubai, including potential knockout stages, this strong track record bodes well for their campaign.
