India have vowed no let-up as they target a clean sweep in the series against New Zealand with a win in the second and final Test starting on Friday, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has said. The hosts put in a strong all-round performance to win the opening Test by an innings and 115 runs with a day to spare in Hyderabad on Sunday. “We don’t have to be overconfident. We are a side which respects the opposition,” the Indian captain told reporters on the eve of the match in Bangalore. “Whatever right we did in the first Test we have to repeat everything. We have to try and stick to the basics and keep it simple. We don’t want to complicate too much.” The Indian batsmen were not tested by New Zealand’s attack in the last match as they posted a huge 438 in their only innings, but Dhoni said the conditions in Bangalore would be different.
