We have a chance to show we can compete, there8217;s no point getting overawed,8221; Dravid told reporters here.

8220;They are a tough side and if you are going to match them over a course of a four-Test series, then you have got to have belief and confidence and fight through tough times.

8220;There would be tough days on the tour. Hopefully, we could keep our chin up and keep fighting right through the tour,8221; said Dravid. Dravid sought to underplay the reputation of the world champions and termed it as no different a tour than they have undertaken in recent times.
