R Ashwin, the premier Indian spinner, is on the verge of gaining full fitness. "I'm close to achieving full fitness and I'm feeling fine. I'm confident of bowling well in the series," Ashwin said.He is not concerned about Team India's defeat in the ODIs. "It is not that we played poorly. We fought our way back into the ODI series brilliantly after we found ourselves trailing 1-2. We levelled the series 2-2 here and it was up to the last match in Mumbai where anything could have happened. Unfortunately, things didn't go our way and we lost," he said.
The Tamil Nadu offie feels the upcoming Test series would be anything but a one-sided affair. "It will be a close contest. South Africa are an excellent side and they have adapted to the conditions very well. It will be a tough challenge and we will be up for it," said Ashwin.
