Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar yesterday picked India as the favourites for the upcoming Test series against Australia but warned the hosts that it would be a mistake to take the team from Down Under lightly.
India will play a four-Test series against Steve Smith's men starting from February 23 in Pune.
Australia have been enduring mixed fortunes in Test cricket of late. "The last thing one would like to do is underestimate your opposition and Australia is a strong side. "Yes, to play in Indian conditions it would be difficult and Australian players have also acknowledged that, which is a compliment to the Indian team, the way they are playing but you cannot take things for granted," Tendulkar said here during the launch of sports equipment and sportswear at a city hotel.
"I have no doubt that the team will prepare to the best of their abilities and deliver when it matters," said Sachin. "Australians are going to be tough to handle and that's how it has always been. But I have absolute confidence in the Indian team," Tendulkar added.
