 India bounced back from Test series defeat to win the one-dayers |
Captain Rahul Dravid believes India's one-day series win in Pakistan will give them a massive boost for the first Test against England in 10 days' time. "Hopefully, we will carry forward the confidence of this series against England after a few days off," he said.
"We will assemble again and just get back to cricket for one more tough series against a good team."
"We are on a bit of a roll now and responded really well after the loss of the Test series."

Coach Greg Chappell credited India's team spirit for helping them recover after losing the final Test and the opening one-day game to take a 4-1 victory.
"We were disappointed losing the Test series but we played some good cricket under tough conditions," he said.
"Probably one or two sessions in the Test series spoiled it for us but we put that behind us.
"We had an infusion of youthful enthusiasm for the one-day series and that helped give us a lift."
India won the final one-day match in Karachi without injured duo Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag, and with Sachin Tendulkar and Irfan Pathan rested.
Chappell added: "Rahul has led from the front and done a wonderful job but the most pleasing thing was winning games without some key players."
