Dubai Weather: Will the weather in Dubai become a 'villain' for Team India? It may spoil Rohit Sharma's plan.

The Indian team's first match in the Champions Trophy 2025 is against Bangladesh. Team India will start its journey in this tournament with the match to be held on 19 February. Captain Rohit Sharma has made complete planning for the match. Seeing the dry condition of Dubai, he included 5 spinners in the squad. At the same time, there is talk of fielding at least 3 spinners in the match. But just before the match, the weather seems to be becoming a villain for Team India. Clouds are expected against Bangladesh. In such a situation, the Indian captain's plan of spin attack may also go awry.

Will the weather spoil Team India's plans?

However, rain is rarely seen in Dubai. But it rained on 18 February, which will have an impact on the match between India and Bangladesh. There is little hope of this happening again in the match. But during this match, overcast conditions i.e. dense clouds in the sky have been predicted. If this happens, it can create problems for Team India. Because Rohit Sharma has entered this tournament with only 3 main pacers, while 5 spinners have been given a chance.

Fast bowlers get more help in overcast conditions. That means it would be better to field more fast bowlers. But India is thinking of playing with 3 spinners and 2 main pacers in the match. Apart from this, Mohammed Shami, who is in the squad, has not been seen in his rhythm yet. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana lack experience. Hardik Pandya is the fourth pacer of the team, who is an all-rounder.

On the other hand, Bangladesh team has come with 4 pacers, which includes a stormy bowler like Nahid Rana who bowls at a speed of 150. Apart from experienced Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed, their team also has dangerous bowlers like Tanjim Hasan Sakib. All these four bowlers have troubled Team India's batsmen before. When the conditions are favorable to them, all of them can prove to be even more lethal.

What did Rohit say about the weather?

Indian captain Rohit Sharma held a press conference a day before the match. During this, he was asked questions about bad weather and fast bowlers. In response to this, he said that 'weather is not in our control. We cannot think much about it. If this happens, then there are weapons in the team that can face it.'
