We have not been able to beat well in this series and will try to change it. We will present our best XI, he said.

But the team is facing a minor horror before the third and final ODI in the series with Dhoni who announces hesitant because of a Dodgy back.

“I have a sore back and am a little hesitant for the game,” Dhoni said, leaving that the discomfort triggered during the team’s optional training session for the Delhi game.

Dhoni suggested that Ajinkya Rahane could have his great chance against England.

“We have to weigh in the options we have and decide if it would be wise to make changes to the last match of the series or give him a long rope in the next series.”

“The 15 guys who make the squad are the best we have and if 11 of them don’t work as a team you can’t just chop and change them. You have to back them, ”Dhoni said.

“We all have chatting in the dressing room. The thing is that everyone knows what the problems are; We discuss them in team meetings. But everything comes to the field and performing. Having long team meetings does not really help your performance. The general guidelines remain the same. “
