India captain Mahendra Dhoni dreams of emulating predecessor Kapil Dev in lifting an international trophy at Lord's.

On the eve of the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup launch, India superstar Dhoni admitted it would take another great team effort to replicate the success of Kapil's men, who won their maiden global event with a surprise World Cup final victory over West Indies 25 years ago.

"It would be a dream to lift the trophy at Lord's but I don't want to look that far ahead and if it does happen it would be an all-round team effort." said Dhoni.

He added: "Of course I would love to do that," said Dhoni. "But it's the team that makes a good captain and I like to distribute the pressure and responsibility around the whole team."

Dhoni's team will be one of the favourites for next summer's inaugural 20-over version of the event, having won the International Cricket Council's World Twenty20 last year.
