A famous player, Dale Steyn, talked about how dew (tiny water drops) makes it hard for bowlers to control the ball, especially in the evening games.
Another player, Tilak Varma, said that India's team is very flexible and players can bat in different positions depending on what the team needs.
The next match is in Dharamsala, which is a cold place with high altitude.
Both teams are preparing for the dew and the cold weather.
