Blessed with a venue advantage and with a depleted Australia at their disposal, India will be gunning for revenge when the familiar foes clash in the first semi-final of the Champions Trophy on Tuesday.

There has been an ongoing debate during the about India playing at the same venue throughout the tournament. The team has been playing all their matches at the Dubai International Stadium while other teams need to travel to different venues in Pakistan and Dubai to play their matches.

Rohit Sharma has responded to criticism that Team India is enjoying an undue 'advantage' in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 by playing all their matches at the same venue. The Indian captain reckons the accusations are far from true because the playing conditions and pitches in Dubai are in stark contrast with each other.
