    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, Nov 14 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>&nbsp;Mahendra Singh Dhoni was once again backed by India head coach Ravi Shastri who on Tuesday said those commenting on the two-time World Cup-winning former skipper should look back at their own careers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;People should look back at their career before commenting on Dhoni. The former captain has a lot of cricket left in him and it is the duty of the team to back the legend,&quot; Shastri said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The coach further added that the culture of the current team is based on performance and quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There is no one better than Dhoni on the field given his ability behind the wicket and with the bat and his presence of mind and sharpness on the field.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On in-form all-rounder Hardik Pandya being rested for the Sri Lanka series, Shastri said: &quot;This team is not about one particular individual... we lose together, we win together.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shastri lauded the players&#39; athleticism, saying: &quot;In terms of fielding, this team is the very best in the world at the moment and that&#39;s something that separates this team from Indian teams of the past.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India will take on Sri Lanka in three Tests beginning with the Eden five-dayer on November 16, and this will be Shastri&#39;s first home Test series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This team always turns up on the park to win. We hope to win the series spread over one-and-half months before going to South Africa.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
