"It's a seven match series so winning two games I don't think means much in a series like this. So, there won't be too much of experimentation but we will look at the combination, we will see if there is any player who needs rest, but we will go with full strength," he added.

Admitting the need for an extra spinner in the team, Dhoni said, "You want to have an extra spinner in the side, but you got to see the combination as well because you know you don't really want to be batsmen short, because if you see in the last game, it was basically Yusuf Pathan's last quick fire 50 that really helped us. So at times, it's very important."

India leads the 7 match series 2-0 with some brilliant performance of the Indian batsmen specially southpaws Yuyraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir. (ANI)
