Dhoni confident India can retain T20 title

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is confident his team can retain the ICC World Twenty20 in England next month.

"I've got a team with outstanding talent. If we play to our potential, we can defend our title," Dhoni told reporters in the western Indian city of Mumbai, ahead of the team's departure for England on Friday.

"We're going to give it our best shot. Each player wants to do something special," said Dhoni, under whose captaincy India won the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa in 2007.

The second edition of the biennial T20 World championship will be played June 5-21 at three venues in England.

"Being defending champions doesn't put any additional pressure on us," said Dhoni, whose team is accustomed to the high expectations of a cricket-obsessed nation. "It's just an add-on pressure that we can handle."...........................
