“Dew factor didn’t matter in the initial period but it started to make a mark in the finishing stages as the weather started to change a bit. It came down hard in the final few games, especially in Sharjah where the toss became very important because of the dew.
“The ball will grip on the UAE wickets which were a bit slow. Batsmen found it difficult to play scoring shots but that changed a bit because of the dew factor. The toss will be very important because of the dew factor,” Rahane said on Salaam Cricket 2021.
Every World Cup in important: Rahane
“Every World Cup is important for us. As a player all that matters is how well we can perform in the tournament and win it for our team. We should be proud of our 2013 Champions Trophy win, and our record in the other ICC events.
“Yes, it is a dream to win a World Cup and when we don’t win we get disappointed. In this World Cup also I’m sure the focus will be on how to win this tournament rather think about what’s coming in the near future,” India’s Test vice-captain added.
India will open their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan in Dubai on October 24.
