BANGALORE: Skipper Anil Kumble on Wednesday exuded confidence of Team India performing well in the upcoming Australian tour, saying it would take inspiration from the previous trip Down Under.
    
Kumble, who was retained Test Captain for the Australian series, said here that India had done very well in the previous tour.
    
He noted that India had a 1-0 lead in that series before the Aussies came back to level the scores, and in the final test the visitors were in fact in a position to win.
    
"....hopefully, we will be able to come back (from Australia) victorious...so, that's the immediate goal and challenge," he said.
    
But Kumble stressed that the focus now was on the third and final test against Pakistan starting here on Saturday, and the home team is keen to wrap up the series. He said the mood in the Indian camp is upbeat.
    
Asked if the Indians needed to be more aggessive on the field, he said he does not believe in bodily aggression. One has to be aggressive with the bat and the ball, he added.
    
He hinted that he has set a personal goal to take his test wicket haul beyond 600.
    
"Individual records will come along the way. Six hundred wickets is probably not too far away. That will come".
    
Kumble ruled out reviewing his decision to quit one-day game, saying he would not be able to stage a comeback.
