Dhoni said it would be a good series between the two top Test nations. (Full preview) “If you see both the teams are well positioned in the rankings. In ODIs it is us and in Tests it is them. It is going to be an exciting and interesting series. The key is getting adjusted to conditions as early as possible,” he said. “They have a very good team, a well balanced team, with genuine all-rounders. Pressure goes hand in hand whether we play in India or away,” he added. Dhoni also said that the team management is yet to decide whether they will go in with five specialist bowlers. (Related: The rise of Mohammed Shami) “We have to see the strength of our batting line up. At the same time, whether four bowlers are good enough to get the opposition out. If you see, at times five batsmen are not enough, even six are not enough. And if you see the last two Test matches, the number six batsman has had a lot of impact on the game. We will weigh how it is and then decide,” he said.
