The reallocation of India’s 2025 ICC Champions Trophy matches seems to have worked out in favor of Dubai, considering the Gulf Metropolis has a colossal fanbase for ‘Men in Blue’ captain Rohit Sharma. With Team India enjoying a week’s worth of break before their next Group A match against New Zealand, Sharma decided to take a stroll in the streets of Dubai alongside India’s fielding coach T Dilip.

Not long after being spotted by fans, the entire street was brought to a standstill, with several Rohit Sharma enthusiasts lining up to catch a glimpse of the legendary Indian opener.

Rohit Sharma fever grips Dubai amidst CT 2025

Hundreds of fans gathered on the streets of Dubai to catch a glimpse of Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma when the latter decided to take a simple stroll in the city. Currently in the UAE for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, the Sharma-led Indian team recently defeated Bangladesh and Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium.


Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India walloped Bangladesh by six wickets on February 20 and defeated arch-rivals Pakistan with the same margin on February 23. In both run-chases, the Indian skipper provided his team a fiery start at the top of the order but failed to convert his belligerent cameo into a notable score.

Nonetheless, with Team India already in the semifinals of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma’s troops will now fight to secure the primo position in Group A against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday, March 2.
