Champions Trophy mein India ka Dubai mein khelna, advantage ya nahi? Starc ne diya jawaab!
ICC Champions Trophy mein India ne apne saare matches Dubai mein khele. Isse unhe koi faayda hua ya nahi, yeh baat charcha ka vishay bani hui hai. Ek taraf log keh rahe hain ki isse India ko travel mein aasani hui, toh doosri taraf yeh bhi hai ki Dubai India ka home ground toh hai nahi.
Australia ke tezz geendbaaz Mitchell Starc, jo Champions Trophy squad ka hissa nahi the, unka kehna hai ki India ko Dubai mein khelne se kuch faayda zaroor hua. Lekin, Starc ne yeh bhi kaha ki yeh itna seedha-saada mamla nahi hai.
Starc ne ‘Dubai advantage’ ko mana kiya
Starc ne kaha ki doosre cricketers ko duniya bhar ki franchise leagues mein khelne ka mauka milta hai, jabki Indian players sirf IPL mein hi khel sakte hain. Isliye, woh ‘Dubai advantage’ ko poori tarah se sahi nahi maante.
“Mujhe nahi lagta ki yeh koi khaas advantage hai. Hum sab cricketers duniya bhar ki leagues mein khelte hain, par Indian players keval IPL mein hi khel sakte hain. Isliye, main nahi maanta ki isse India ko koi bada faayda mila”, Starc ne Fanatics TV par kaha.
India ki jeet par Starc hairan nahi
Team India ki Champions Trophy jeet par Starc ne kaha ki woh isse bilkul bhi hairan nahi hain. Unhone Varun Chakravarthy ko KKR mein khelte hue dekha hai, aur woh unki bowling se kaafi impressed hain.
“Mujhe India ki jeet par bilkul hairan nahi hui. Sach kahu toh, maine Champions Trophy ka ek bhi match nahi dekha. Bas Australia ke matches ke kuch tukde dekhe. Maine Chakaravarthy ke saath KKR mein khela hai, woh bahut hi talented bowler hai.
Ab yeh kehna ki kya yeh best white-ball team hai, toh Indian fans toh ‘haan’ kahenge, aur Australian fans shayad ‘na’ kahenge”, Starc ne mazaak mein kaha.
