Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik is sad about their performance versus South Africa, but said he would not be taking any extra pressure on the tour.

A cautious approach

8216;We know people are disappointed over loss to South Africa. We also know a repeat performance against India will not be acceptable to the people. We want to make amends in India.8217;

Play cool

8216;I have played against India and been there before, so I know what it is all about. So I am not going to take any extra pressure on this tour.8217;

Handling pressure

8216;We handled the pressure games in the Twenty20 World Cup. The final was a close affair and it could have gone either way. I am confident my players can handle the pressure well in India.8217;

Even contest

8216;They use SG balls, which grip well and help the pacers and spinners well, while the pitches are good for the batsmen as well. Once you settle in you can get runs. So it should be an evenly contested series.8217;
