"We are the world champions in the 50-over format and it is important for us to repeat the success in the shortest format of the game. We have to be at our best in this format considering you don't have time to recover as compared to Tests or ODIs," said Dhoni on his arrival here with the team.
Dhoni said the side's focus will be on adjusting to the T20 version before the event kicks off on September 18. India will play warm-up matches against Sri Lanka (September 15) and Pakistan (September 17) before beginning their campaign against Afghanistan September 19.
"It is difficult to switch formats, especially from Tests to T20. The way you approach a game is different in all the three formats and you have to adjust. But it is not that you cannot do it, only thing is that your basics will have to be right.
"And as professional cricketers we have to do that and players like Virender Sehwag have been doing well in all three formats," he said a day after India suffered a one- run loss to New Zealand in Chennai.(IANS)
