Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) MS Dhoni, India captain:(On Ravi Shastri's presence with the team)"He is here to overlook the operations and give us input from the outside on what he feels and everything. It's good to have him. The reason being that he is someone who is a very proud Indian cricketer and at the same time someone who is really positive. He believes a lot in fighting and having the right instincts, going over and giving 100 per cent. It's good to have him, he also speaks the same language so he can interact a lot with the players same is the case with some of the other people so it's good to have them." SOUNDBITE (English) MS Dhoni, India captain:(On if it will be hard for the team to bounce back from the disappointment of the test series defeat to England)"It has been relatively easy the reason being the new generation of Indian cricketer, they feel hurt, they feel disappointed when they don't do well, but at the same time they realise how important it is to leave a tough series behind and take the [lessons] forward. That's what makes them positive. That's what helps them to improve. It as has been quite easy though I won't say really easy. What really is important is the response that we get from the players. The last few days have been good, we have practiced, it has been good."
