You know, they would have already started batting or bowling. But what all is needed in a good team? Everything is there. They have the experience,’’ said in an event ‘Dhoni unplugged’ with Jatin Sapru. “Especially when it comes to this format, the experience is vast. They have played under pressure. Whoever is playing whatever roles they are playing in the team, they have been in that situation for a considerable period of time,” he further added. ‘Mahi’ believes dew remains a major concern in T20 cricket Despite his confidence in the Indian team, Dhoni also pointed out one major factor that can affect matches, i.e. dew. He explained that dew can change playing conditions drastically, especially in night games, making the toss very important. “What worries me? Again, I hate dew. Dew changes a lot of things. So, even when I was playing, something that really scared me was dew. Where the toss becomes crucial and all of that. If we are playing 10 matches with some of the best teams, we will come out as winners more often than not. If the conditions remain neutral,” Dhoni said further on dew concerns.

He said that even strong teams can struggle if key players have an off day, while the opposition delivers an exceptional performance. “The problem is when some of your players have a day off and somebody from the opposition has a brilliant day. And it can happen in the T20 group. So, that’s the time. Whether it happens in the league stage, whether it happens in the knockout stage, that’s where all the praying is needed. You know, nobody should get injured. Whatever roles are given, people should accomplish their roles for the team,” the former India captain concluded.
