Lauding the team for their 4-0 triumph over Australia in the recently concluded Test series, out-of-favour opener Gautam Gambhir today stressed on the need to win Test series abroad in order to be recognized as a force in world cricket.
"Unless a team wins overseas, they are not recognized as a force. I have always believed that winning in overseas conditions matters a lot. I am happy that we have done well at home.
There is nothing wrong in using home advantage as every country does that", Gambhir told reporters at a promotional event here. "But look at South Africa. They beat Australia in Australia and England in England. Actually, they are the No 1 side in the world," he said.
