"Indian teams always go quite hard, if you give them a sniff they'll run with it. Our job is to make sure they can't get in the game so they can't get aggressive with us, and then really take the momentum away from us. But it's not really our issue. We've got to play good cricket, and beat them on skill," Wade said.
He said he was shocked by a distinct change in India's approach between the first and second cricket Test in the ongoing series.
"When you've got a caged lion you expect them to come out pretty hard, to get away. Indian teams are always quite aggressive. Dhoni was a different captain to Kohli, but that's just personality."
About his own approach to the game, Wade said, "I feel like I play my best cricket when I get in the contest. When you're back's against the wall you've gotta find a way to get up and about, so I still feel like that's a big part of my game.
"I probably don't use it a hundred per cent of the time any more, but I've still got it there if I need it. If there's a time I think it can be an advantage for us, sure - I'll go for it.
