New Delhi:The home run for Team India is on the verge of ending, and about to start is the tough test in South Africa. India is due to play three Test Series, starting January 5, and many experts feel that this current team has it in them to win a series abroad. 
India opener Murali Vijay too, is optimistic about India’s chances in South Africa. Talking to India Today, Vijay said that this team is well-equipped to do well there. Also the key will be to adapt fast to the conditions. He also emphasised on the fact that it is not just one series, but the next 14 months are going to be crucial for the Indian team, as they tour Australia and England as well.
“Not only South Africa. It’s about how we are going to go about it the whole season. It is going to be very important for us. If you think about short team goals then yes, this series is very important for us to start. I personally think we are well equipped to do well. As I said, we’ve got to go there, get used to the conditions really fast and find a way to perform,” Vijay said.
“It is going to be a team effort to pull off a series win abroad. Hopefully, we can do that this time around. We are looking forward to that and we are preparing so that we can contribute to the team and go ahead in the series.”
Vijay, who recently scored two hundreds against Sri Lanka at Nagpur and Delhi feels that all the three openers, KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and him, are in good form and that helps the team to pick the best suitable option.
“It is actually good to be in form. All three openers are in form, so there are a lot of options for the captain and the management. Hopefully, we three can perform and contribute in the near future,” he added.
