“It’s important to be positive. I said ‘let’s look for a good start. Something that’s very critical. Don’t think about the result and the first and foremost thing was: Don’t look up, God is not coming to save you. You have to fight it out. You are the No. 1 team and let’s play like that. If we lose they will have to score the runs, we won’t make it easy for them,” Dhoni had said.
