India is currently playing against Australia in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal and all eyes will be on Varun Chakravarthy, the mystery spinner could be India’s trump card on the Dubai pitch. His unique variations make it very difficult for the batters to lead.
India will be bowling first and all the eyes will be on India’s spinners who’ll spun their web on Dubai’s spin friendly pitch.
The surface at Dubai is slower and more challenging compared to the batting friendly pitches in Pakistan. The sluggish nature of the track means that the matches are comparatively low scoring favouring bowlers- especially spinners. With India having a strong spin attack, with Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and possibly Varun Chakravarthy, the team will look forward to make the most out of those spin firendly conditions in Dubai.
Mohammed Shami will be taking the charge of India’s pace attack and his ability to swing the new ball and provide early breakthrough will be very crucial factor in India’s dominance.
