"It's obviously is an exciting series that is lined up for both India and South Africa. We were able to get the better of the Indian side a couple of months ago. But I think there are different looking guys. There are fresher, newer faces, guys who have a point to prove an stake a claim for their places in the Indian team."

"They won't be short of any motivation within the team and so, from our side as a team, we won't be expecting anything easy and are not thinking that everything happened the same way as it was in South Africa back home.
