India are set to tour South Africa early next year, where they play three Tests, six One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20s. The first Test will be played at Cape Town from January 5.
In June, India are scheduled to tour England, where they play three Twenty20s, three ODIs and five Tests.
"India is number one at the moment in the ICC Rankings. They have beaten every team in the world and I am sure that they will do very well in South Africa as well as in England, because we have got some outstanding players.
Vengsarkar and former captain Sunil Gavaskar inaugurated an exhibition Cricket Connects India England cricket relations - at the Nehru Science Centre here.
Echoing similar views, Gavaskar said, "The way we beat them (England) last year and hopefully the coming year 2018, we will probably tell the British that sometimes the students are better than the professors."
"I have lot of fond memories of England, despite the fact that I did not get too many runs in England," said Gavaskar.
A couple of hours ago, I had visitors from England, club cricketers who have come to play cricket here and I was telling them about how that particular experience changed my perspective on the game to a great extent, because till then I was not a professional cricketer.
"But having played one season of County cricket it gave me an insight, sort of take on how professional cricketers played and how they relaxed at the end of days play, so that was a wonderful perspective (and) that helped me in rest of my cricketing career, the former opening batsman recalled.
