"Our aim is to play well and win the series. England are a good side but so are we. I think it will be a tough series for both of us," said Sehwag on the sidelines of the launch of a cricket bat collection named after him.
Sehwag also declared that they are not here for avenging their humiliating 0-4 washout last year against the same opposition in England.
India will play four Test matches in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kolkata and Nagpur.
The 34-year-old scored a century Monday for Delhi against Uttar Pradesh in a Ranji Trophy tie, in spite of a finger injury.
Commenting on his form and performance, he said: "I am happy to score the century. Whether I am back in form or not, is not for me to decide but I thought I played well enough."
"And as for the condition of my finger, it is getting better."
Sehwag will also complete a century of Test matches, currently sitting pretty on 98.
"It was my dream to play for my country. Since the time I achieved that, my next dream has been to perform well and play 100 Tests for India. I am very happy that moment is coming soon."
He also congratulated batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, who is to be conferred the Order of Australia Tuesday in Mumbai.
