The Cape Town win was good but this match is in Hyderabad: Rohit Sharma

India and England are set to face each other in a test match series consisting of 5 games starting from January 25th. The first of the five tests will be held in Hyderabad. India have not lost a test series in home conditions since 2012. Co-incidentally England were the touring side in 2012 that had defeated India 2-1 in a 4 match series after the final test in Nagpur ended in a draw. 

Indian captain Rohit Sharma would be high on confidence on account of the win against South Africa in the Newlands Cricket Stadium. He is however measured in his approach going into the first test. “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, (they) do not guarantee that we will come out on top in this series. We have to play well to win this series. 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 said in the pre-match press conference.
