Home truth

Team India is on cloud nine these days following the 4-0 win against Australia. However, I would like to remind them that winning a series at home does not make them world champions. They are going to face the mighty South Africans later this year and the team should start preparing for it. Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara played well at home, but they should now prepare themselves to face the pace attack in South Africa. And spinners, like R. Ashwin, should start practising bowling on bouncy pitches.
