Indian team has found the solution to bowl better in 'dew', Prasidh Krishna told how bowlers practice for this

Indian team's fast bowler Prasidh Krishna admitted that his team's bowlers do different exercises to deal with dew. Krishna said that to bowl in dew-like conditions, Indian bowlers try to bowl by soaking the ball in water.

The fast bowler also said that bowling becomes very painful due to dew. Recall that the Indian team took a 2-0 lead in the series by defeating Australia by 44 runs in the second T20 International match on Sunday. The Indian team batted first and scored 235/4 in 20 overs and then restricted Australia to 191/9.

Prasidh Krishna said that it was difficult to bowl in the second innings because dew had come at the beginning of the innings. When asked whether bowlers practice to deal with such situations, Krishna gave a strong answer.

We bowl by soaking the ball in water. We practice this continuously. But then the pressure and the whole aspect of the game comes to the fore. When you are in a match, you sweat. The towel you use becomes wet. I took a fresh towel after I finished my third over. Then the towel got wet on the second ball of the fourth over. You can't do much then. But when there is a match, things become different.
