The Champions Trophy 2025 is over, but the controversy and debate over it are still going on. Many cricketers say that India got the benefit of playing all their matches in Dubai. Now former Australian veteran fast bowler Glenn McGrah has also jumped into this discussion.
McGragra says that India did not win the Champions Trophy only for this to play all the matches in Dubai, but the real reason was that the Indian team plays brilliantly in spinning conditions and understands ODI cricket deeply. He also said that IPL has had a positive impact on Indian cricket.
