England captain Alastair Cook says said it will be "incredibly tough" to beat India in their own backyard, but feels his players have the ability to do the job.
An injury-ravaged India was hammered by England in both the Test and the One-day series, but Cook says it is different ball game when India plays on home soil.
"I certainly think we can beat India. It will be incredibly tough. We need everyone to be playing very well," Cook said at Heathrow Airport, ahead of his side's departure for India.
The five-match series will begin in Hyderabad on October 14. England will also plays a one-off Twenty20 against India on October 29.
