“It's one of the most dangerous teams. You know, they would have already started batting or bowling by now. But what is needed in a good team? Everything is there. They have the experience. 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.” Dhoni expressed in that event.
MS Dhoni scared of dew for India's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign
Dhoni admitted that one factor that would always be fearful for the captains, which would be dew, as it can completely change the course of the match.

“What worries me? I really hate dew. Dew changes everything. Even when I was playing, it was something that scared me. The toss becomes very important because of it. If you play 10 matches against top teams in fair conditions, you’ll win most of them.” Dhoni revealed in the show.
“The real problem comes when a few of your players don’t perform, and someone from the other team has an outstanding day. That can happen at any stage in a T20 tournament — whether it’s the league matches or the knockouts. That’s when you start hoping everything goes right.” The Ranchi-born concluded.
