145;Own high standards put seniors under pressure146;

8220;I don8217;t think you can really write them off, they have plenty in them. But at the same time you have to look into the future. It8217;s all about transition, making a respectful last few years in their international career,8221; Dhoni said. On whether the seniors deserved a spot in the team, Dhoni, shot back: 8220;Do we have an option? We definitely have players who are talented and can make it big, but at the same time, it8217;s not really about talent, their adaptability and preparation matter.8221;

On the upcoming Test series, Dhoni said the hosts were prepared. 8220;We could not have done more than what we have done. It8217;s all about execution and, hopefully, the team will adapt and play better cricket,8221; he said. Dhoni, however, insisted that India were not depending just on spin to trouble the Aussies. 8220;It8217;s not that we do not have quality fast bowlers. We have quality spinners as well. We are comfortable playing on any surface,8221; he said.
