<p class="title">The under-fire Indian Test team on Friday got the backing of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who said there are quite a few positives, the prominent one being the bowlers' performance, to pick despite the drubbing handed out by South Africa.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Virat Kohli's world no 1 India are trailing 0-2 in the three-match series after heavy losses in Cape Town and Centurion. The third and final Test is scheduled to be held in Johannesburg from January 24.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"I would say look at the positives. To win a Test match you need 20 wickets and we have taken 20 wickets. If you can't take 20 wickets, what is the next thing? You look to draw a Test match," Dhoni, who has retired from Tests but continues to be a part of India's limited-overs teams, said at a press conference here.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"How you can draw a Test match is by giving less runs and by scoring runs," he told reporters here at a promotional event.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Dhoni said the fact that Indian bowlers are taking 20 wickets in a match is a sign that the side is never too far from a win.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"If you are not able to get 20 wickets, you can't win a Test match irrespective of whether you are playing in India or you are playing outside. But that is the big positive. We are taking 20 wickets," he said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"This means we are always in a position to win a Test match. Once you start scoring runs, you are there," he added.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The Jharkhand stumper, who led the Chennai Super Kings in the first eight editions of the IPL before it was suspended in the wake of the 2013 spot-fixing scam, said he was happy to be back at the franchise.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"A lot of people approached me, I can tell you that. But I can't think of not coming back to CSK. What we have been through, how we have conducted ourselves, how the management has been. How the fans have been. This is a special place. So that thought of being in any other franchise was never a question," he added.</p>
