Rohit Sharma is aware of the fact that India haven’t lost a Test series in the last 12 years at home
He says they need to play their best cricket to stay unbeaten against a quality side like England
Speaking on the eve of the first Test, Rohit said that England are a very good side and pose a serious challenge
“I don’t think we are unbeatable. We don’t want to think like that. But whatever past records that we have over the last decade or so, do not guarantee that we will come out on top in this series. We have to play well to win this series,” said Rohit
He also felt that the victory in their last Test against South Africa in Cape Town keeps the team in good stead
“The Cape Town win was good but this match is in Hyderabad. It is different conditions, different opposition. But yeah, that win has given us a lot of confidence and we can take that into this series,” he added
He also lauded the spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja who are set to play key role in India’s chances in the five-match series
“Ashwin is a champion bowler. He has performed for India in different conditions. He always puts the team ahead. He improved every time he stepped on to the field,” he added
