Shami Admits India's One Venue Advantage In CT, Says 'it Helped Us To Know Behaviour Of The Pitch'
ICC Champions Trophy: India’s pace spearhead Mohammed Shami believes that playing all their ICC Champions Trophy matches at one venue in Dubai has given the team a crucial advantage in adapting to the conditions and pitch behaviour.
"It has definitely helped us because we know the conditions and the behaviour of the pitch. It is a plus point that you are playing all the matches at one venue. The main thing is to gauge the conditions and know how the pitch behaves because you are playing at one venue and you can get to know it well," Shami said after India's four-wicket semi-final victory over Australia.
While India has made the most of the familiarity with the Dubai pitch, Shami has also had to shoulder an added burden in the bowling department. With Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the tournament due to injury, he has led the pace attack with young Harshit Rana and all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
