The dew factor is expected to play a big role and with the day/night match 2.30pm start, and the sun setting fairly early, the players will have some slippery conditions while fielding under lights.

“The youngsters are getting an opportunity to play for their country and if they do well and make a mark it’s good for the team as well. The bench strength will get stronger and stronger”, Sehwag said.

“With 2011 World Cup coming up, if players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma get opportunity to play and get runs, our bench strength improves,” he said.
