India can be No 1 in Tests by session end: Dhoni

TIL Desk Sports/ Limited over captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes that India’s Test side led by Virat Kohli can regain it’s top ranking in longest format by the end of the home season in which they play 13 Tests against New Zealand, England, Australia and Bangladesh. Dhoni feels the team is shaping up well under skipper Virat Kohli and the fact that all the Indian fast bowlers are fit and doing well will held the team in good stead in the upcoming Test matches.

“I think the Indian Test team is shaping up well. It seemed we were more settled in T20 and ODI but now our team had a good batting experience. If you notice, for the last 2 and a half years, we had the same batting unit, barring one or two changes. So you learn a lot. Test remains the ultimate format,” Dhoni told reporters after the 2nd T20I was washed out yesterday.

“On top of it, one plus point is that all our fast bowlers are fit now and the way they are bowling. We have 10 proper fast bowlers and it’s an asset. Now we will be playing a lot of matches, so we can rotate our fast bowlers if we want to,” he observed. Dhoni is happy that talent is now getting transformed into performance.
