Many in the international cricketing spectrum have claimed that the Indian team has enjoyed an 'undue advantage' by playing all of its matches in Dubai while the other participating teams have had to travel to different cities over the course of the campaign. Former Pakistan Pacer Junaid Khan re-ignited the debate around the topic ahead of the Champions Trophy final, backing his accusation by figures.

The move further intensified the rumours, though Gill confirmed that no such discussion has taken place, yet. When former India captain Sourav Ganguly was asked about his views on the subject, he shut down the topic.

The strange remarks come from Ashwin as he feels India would be in a much better position mentally if skipper Rohit loses the toss again.
