England will look to improve on their dismal one-day record in India when they clash with the injury-ravaged world champions in a five-match series starting Friday. England have beaten India just once in their last 10 one-day internationals on Indian soil, which included a thrilling tie during the World Cup in Bangalore in March. Cook’s side will be buoyant after a dominant home season when they beat India 4-0 in the Test series to take over as the world’s number one team, and also won the one-dayers 3-0. Cook, however, refused to take victory for granted against a depleted home team missing key players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh due to injury or poor form. “I don’t see any relation between what happened in England and what’s going to happen out here,” Cook said ahead of the first one-dayer at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
