Mahendra Singh Dhoni backs Test brigade despite loss to Proteas

Chennai, Jan 19 (CRICKETNMORE) - Throwing his weight behind the beleaguered Test side which lost the ongoing Test series 0-2 to South Africa, former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday said it was important to look at the positives

"If you can't take 20 wickets, you can never win a Test. Irrespective of whether you are playing at home or outside. We are taking 20 wickets, which means you are always in a position to win the match. 

"Once you start scoring runs, you are there (with a chance of winning)," Dhoni added.

The Ranchi stumper, who will join Kohli's men for the ODI and T20I series against the Proteas, was also asked questions about his return to the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Conceding that several IPL franchises had approached him ahead of the Player Retention event earlier this month, the 36-year-old said there was no question of him playing for any team other than the yellow brigade.

"A lot of people approached me, I can tell you that. But, you know, I can't think (of) not coming back to CSK," he said.
