"India have got a very strong batting line-up. The players are at their peak and I'm very confident this will be the first Indian team to win a series on Pakistani soil," Srikkanth, who led India on their last tour to Pakistan 14 years ago, told reporters on Thursday.
Sachin Tendulkar, who made his debut as a 16-year-old
on that tour, is the only member of the current team to have played Test cricket in Pakistan.
India play five one-day internationals, starting in Karachi on March 13, followed by three tests.
Srikkanth's side drew all four Tests in 1989-90 and he was sacked soon after. India have never won a Test in Pakistan, losing five and drawing 15.
