Several aspects can be attributed to India's defeat in the second Test at Trent Bridge on Monday. But if skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni ever gets to hear this, his feeling of despair could get worse: Monday's 319-run loss is their heaviest margin of defeat in 101 Tests against England.

Akram "Can't write off Dhoni after just two losses", Facing criticism after India conceded a 0-2 lead to England in the ongoing Test series, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has found much-needed support in Pakistan pace legend Wasim Akram who feels he cannot be written off on the basis of a couple of defeats. Many experts, including former India skipper Sourav Ganguly, have slammed Dhoni's decision to bowl first in the second Test at Nottingham, which India lost by 319 runs, but Akram begs to differ.

"Both Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir form an incredible opening duo for Team India. So I hope they are genuinely fit and help out the team," said Akram.
