Piyush Chawla has now decoded why spinners have been more successful than last season. As quoted by ESPN Cricinfo, he said, “Any bowler wants to bowl with the dry ball. And you can't really predict where it's going to be [dewy or otherwise] and where it's not going to be.

"So all the venues where it's hot, the pitches are dry. No matter how much you roll it, how much you water it, eventually it gets dry, and it helps the spinners."
