Umesh Yadav has stressed on "confidence" and "attitude" when taking on the Australians.
"It's all about your attitude and confidence. They need to be high to play well against Australia," he said. The Indian pacer also said that he was focusing on the various aspects of his bowling.
"I am here because of my pace. I am trying to get more pace," Umesh said.
"I try to swing with a good wrist position. But I also focus on line and length while aiming at the off stump," he added.
India will play Australia in five ODIs and three T20s starting January 12.
