Babar's men were accorded a warm welcome in Hyderabad in what is their first tour of India since the T20 World Cup in 2016.
Babar and his team mates were surprised by the support they received since landing in Hyderabad, where they played both their warm-up matches.
They will launch their bid for a second 50-overs World Cup title at the same southern Indian city against the Netherlands on Friday.
Babar's concerns are understandable considering Pakistan's bowling lost considerable sting after speedster Naseem Shah was ruled out of the World Cup with a shoulder injury.
"It's more or less the same team playing the last three years together, and I think bowling remains our strength," added Babar.
