Overview
- The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association imported the Dew Cure product from the United States, where it is used at Major League Baseball venues.
- Groundskeepers mixed the solution with water and sprayed the outfield on Tuesday and Wednesday, with another application planned for Thursday afternoon before the evening match.
- The treatment is designed to help moisture absorb into the grass so leaves dry faster, limiting the batting advantage and bowlers' grip problems caused by dew.
- India’s players reportedly stayed after training to check for dew formation and were satisfied with the conditions on the treated surface.
- Reports suggest the product could be used in the semifinals and final and may be considered for IPL venues, but there is no official confirmation of wider adoption.
