Sachin Tendulkar on the New Zealand tour

Despite having toured New Zealand on no less than six occasions in his illustrious 20-year career, Sachin Tendulkar still prefers caution to confidence.

Attribute that to his experience.

Asked about India's chances on the tour Tendulkar said, "It is going to be a challenge for sure."

"Not only playing New Zealand, but also playing them in New Zealand because of the conditions. It is tough out there."

For those who believed it would be a cakewalk for India comes this piece of advice from the team's best.

Be confident. But be over-confident at your own peril.
