Dhoni said- Set up is new this time

After the toss, Dhoni said in a funny manner on social distancing that we wanted to know whether we would be able to keep the fielders in the slip. This time the set up is new. Enjoyed the most from isolation to practice. The team is all set. At the same time, we are playing with almost new team in UAE this time compared to last time Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, we hope that our record will improve here.
