Tendulkar said the process of winning matches abroad started in 2001 and since then India have beaten every team in the world "in their own backyard".

"I remember it was from 2000-01 when we started touring much better. That is when we started winning matches abroad and beating the opposition in their own backyard. South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies, England and Australia virtually all the teams in the world we have toured well and beaten them," he said.

"It did not happen overnight it was a process. But, because of that (successes) we have started having that fearless approach. So now we are in a comfort zone, we are absolutely fearless but also sensible at the same time," Tendulkar told BBC Sport.

"We have a fantastic team combination and that is why there have seen fantastic results," he added.
