Australian spin legend Shane Warne feels that if India have to bounce back in the cricket Test series against England, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has to lead from the front.

Warne said that Dhoni has to get back his positive mindset and set the tone for the team in the field. "He needs to lift everyone. He looks too nonchalant at the moment.

"He has lost his positive body language. The captain has to set the tone with the fielding. He cannot hang on to a ball behind the stumps and that is hurting his captaincy, batting and having an impact on the whole team.

He needs to work really hard on his keeping over the next week because you can't carry on like that," Warne wrote in his column in Daily Telegraph.
