Pataudi along with his noted actress wife Sharmila Tagore and other family members arrived here for taking part in a private function and also to resolve the vexed property disputes.
To a question he said it would be better if the team members instead of playing for personal records, plays for the nation and in that case it would be difficult for any team to beat Dhoni's men.
However, he said that the performance of the team is good and is appearing to get more better.
