The way Mahendra Singh Dhoni has performed in the World Twenty20, he can extend his career as India skipper, says former Australia captain Ian Chappell. "Well! I think he was in form in T20.

We don't have him as a Test captain but we want him and I think he was too good in World T20," Chappell said on ESPNcricinfo programme 'Match Day'.

Anything above 190 or more than 8 an over, you feel you can win. There are not more games you loose."
