Ahead of the Team India's England tour for Test series, former South African cricketer AB de Villiers said that the young Indian team is capable of achieving something special if they back themselves.

"They've got to take some responsibilities in England, it will be a tough test, but they have all the talent in the world and if they believe, maybe they can achieve something special," said AB de Villiers on the sidelines of an NGO Project event in Mumbai.

After the Test retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has appointed Shubman Gill as their new skipper.
