#5 Aaron Finch confident of Australia doing well in India

Finch is confident of his team giving India a tough fight in the upcoming ODI series

Australia's limited-overs captain Aaron Finch has stated that he is extremely hopeful of a strong performance by his team in the ODI series against India. Australia will play a three-match ODI series against India in India from January 14.

Talking to cricket.com.au, Finch said that performing well on tough Indian sub-continent pitches can be a big boost for his squad but anything less than 100 per cent will let self-doubts creep in. He said

"It just gives us confidence that our game plan in those conditions is good enough."

"What can happen when you play in the sub-continent is you start to doubt your game plan because they're so dominant when they get on top. India or Pakistan... or Sri Lanka. They can make you start doubting yourself."

Finch clarified that strong performances will go down well with the entire squad and hopefully they will beat India on their home turfs to establish supremacy. He explained:

"Knowing that our game plan is good enough and knowing that our skills are good enough to beat India in India. That gives us a lot of confidence going there."
