First few matches were played in Karachi, then teams flew to Rawalpindi/ Lahore.

Both Karachi-Rawalpindi/ Lahore and Karachi-Dubai flights are 2 hours, give or take.

Yes the Indian team did not have to travel at all. Not that it makes a significant difference to the teams that had to (given sufficient break).

@sardesairajdeep content uses 10% fact and 90% embellished opinion to suit his agenda - India traveling to Pak, entourage of reporters like him accompanying to cover, and then hobnobbing with their track 2 counterparts. Not happening under @narendramodi. This loss of relevance is the biggest grouse for people like Rajdeep who at one stage could hold back 'sting' operations and decide the fate of a Union Govt, getting awards in return.
