Dashing opener Virender Sehwag says pressure would be on India when they take on Pakistan at home early next year and stopping the arch-rivals, who have held the upper hand in recent matches, would be a big challenge.

"We are all looking forward to playing Pakistan. The pressure is going to be on us. People will expect us to win both the Test matches and the one-dayers because we won both the series in Pakistan earlier this year," Sehwag said in an interview.

"It is going to be a big challenge for us because Pakistan's recent record against us is very good. They have beaten us in the last five one-dayers. Hopefully we will do well as we did when we played on their soil."

The Delhi batsman said he was looking to continue his domination of Pakistan bowlers but refused to predict whether there would be a repeat of his Multan magic.
