Champions Trophy Dubai Stadium: The Champions Trophy 2025 match between India and Bangladesh was played in Dubai. India won the match but many catches were missed during this match. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya dropped the catches of Jaker and Tauheed Hridaya in the first innings, while Jaker Ali dropped the catch of KL Rahul. This disappointed the players of both countries. Dropping catches in cricket is a part of the game but dropping catches in Dubai is very common, why? Know why the Dubai stadium is called the ‘Ring of Fire’.
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium was formerly known as the Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium. The roof of this stadium is circular and 350 floodlights have been installed on it on all sides. Its biggest advantage is that the shadow is negligible. Along with this, big and high pillars do not have to be installed for the light. What is the ‘Ring of Fire’?
Very few people would know that Dubai International Stadium is also called ‘Ring of Fire’. There is a reason behind this name and that reason is nothing but the floodlights installed here. Usually, the lights are installed on big poles in the stadium but this is not the case in Dubai, rather the lights have been installed on the roof of the Dubai stadium. More than 350 lights have been installed all around the stadium.
88 catches missed in 20 matches
In October last year, most of the Women’s T20 World Cup tournaments were held in Dubai and 88 catches were missed in 20 matches. In one match, Pakistan dropped eight catches against New Zealand. Many catches were also missed during the IPL. The reason behind this is believed to be the unique lights installed here. The lights installed in this stadium are visible downwards in the fielder’s eyes, making it difficult to understand the speed of the ball and the chances of missing a catch are even higher when the match is being played with a white ball.
