India at home is the strongest team in the world: Williamson

“We know that at home in particular, they’ll be the strongest team in the world,” said Williamson in Mumbai on Saturday. “There are no illusions that we need to come out and play our best cricket. We saw in the last series here that we were two-all going into the decider which was a fairly good effort, although we knew that perhaps we hadn’t played our best performance in that last game (in Visakhapatnam). It will be nice to come out in this series and do a little bit better.

“People talk a lot about adjusting to the conditions in India, and that’s really important not just when you come to India, but the specific grounds you play at, they are always a little bit different,” added Williamson. “We did that fairly well last time we were here and it would nice to do that better this time. We still did not put out our best performance in that last series, which was a hard-fought series, but we still were striving for that performance that we knew we could put out and hopefully we can show that in this series.”
