The Dew Factor, according to Ravi Shastri, will determine whether India would play an extra spinner or a seamer

India’s head coach, Ravi Shastri, revealed on Monday that the dew factor will determine whether the side will use an extra seamer or spinner in their ICC T20 World Cup campaign, which begins on October 24 against Pakistan. Shastri, who is on his final assignment with the Indian squad, also stated that the primary goal of the two warm-up games against England (tonight) and Australia (on October 20) is to figure out where the players are in terms of form and rhythm.

“We’ll simply try to determine how much dew is present and then decide whether to bat or bowl first. It also aids us in deciding whether to play an additional spinner or seamer “During an interview with official broadcasters ‘Star Sports,’ Shastri informed former India stumper, Deep Dasgupta.

All of India’s matches will be played in the evening when dew will be a big impact. The more dew on the ball, the more difficult it is for spinners to hold it, making stroke play for batsmen easier.

According to Shastri, the IPL has served as an excellent training ground for Indian players, the majority of whom are regulars for their respective clubs.

“Since the boys have been playing in the IPL for the past two months, I don’t believe they require too much preparation.” It’s more about them collaborating and adapting as a group. Get some energy and a groove going.”

“Everyone can bat, everyone can bowl,” Shastri said when asked about the specific benefits he expects from the warm-up games (in this game). As a result, it will assist us in determining who is doing what and how.

“Not at all,” says the speaker (regarding any locked strategy). We’ll simply see how things go and see what we can come up with.”
