Bangalore: Former England skipper Paul Collingwood said it would be very difficult for England to beat the formidable India in the on-going seven match One-Day series as they are an energetic and aggressive outfit.
"This India side is different from the one that we played against at home last year, where we won 4-3 last year by beating Rahul Dravid’s men in the last game. Now they are a formidable side and England will find it tough to beat them as they a very energetic and aggressive side under a young captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni," Collingwood wrote in his column in The Times of India.
"In fact the story is not too different from our side as well as we too have a new skipper in Kevin Pietersen and he has also brought with him freshness in thought and approach. It is important to remember that the Australian team against which the Indians triumphed was without the players who formed their backbone for close to a decade," he adds.
"personally, I have no goals as such for this series, other than ensuring that we win once again, this time in India," he wrote
