Champions Trophy: Perpetual Cribbers Need To Grow Up, Says Gambhir On India’s Undue Venue Advantage
Dubai International Stadium: India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday slammed critics for claiming that India have an ‘undue advantage’ due to them playing all Champions Trophy 2025 games at the same venue and told the ‘perpetual cribbers’ to ‘grow up.’
India advanced to the final of the tournament with a four-wicket victory over Australia at the Dubai International Stadium. The Rohit Sharma-led side has played all four games at the same venue, whereas other teams have had to travel from Pakistan to the Middle East to face India due to the Indian government's refusal to allow the team to travel to Pakistan for their matches, causing uproar among fans of the other competing nations.
“Kaunsi undue advantage? (What undue advantage?) We practice at ICC Academy, where conditions are different from what we get here at the stadium. Some people are perpetual cribbers; they need to grow up,” said Gambhir at the post-game conference.
