“It will be interesting. They are famous for aggressive cricket and
their temperament on the field. We are quite ready for it. We showed
them it during the home series as well,” Dhoni said.
“I think its not about the mind games that you play. I believe in
playing good cricket on the ground and giving your 100 per cent and
playing good aggressive cricket. And it is not about what you are
saying or using media as one of the strategies to put pressure on the
opponent”, the wicket keeper batsman told NDTV.
Dhoni said adapting to the Australian conditions as quickly as
possible will be the key to India’s performance in the high profile
series.
“It is about playing good cricket and more about adaptability… You
have to adopt quickly to the condition and you have to play according
to the situation,” he said.
“We faced a lot of swing music when we went to England. Every
country specialises in something and Australia is famous for bouncy
tracks like England is for swing and India for spin bowling. So when
you go to any country, the challenges that you face is different. You
have to play well over a period of time and adapt quickly,” he said.
On the personal front, Dhoni said it will be an exciting experience
for him because he will be touring the country for the first time.
“I have played in most of the countries and now I am going to
Australia. I think New Zealand is the only country left. It is very
exciting because the cricket played there is very different.
“On my first tour I would love to do well. It is a new challenge for
me and new responsibility for me and I am looking forward to it,” he
added.
