Tendulkar, who has scored 191 runs from eight innings so far, said he was hitting the ball well and his confidence level has not gone down.
"I scored in the 30s twice against Sri Lanka and 40-odd against Australia. I failed only in the last three innings. It is a case of too may brains working over my form," he said after hitting a sizzling 54-ball 63 in India's seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on Tuesday.
"I am all right and hitting the ball well. I am confident and the team is confident. The normal tendency is people get carried away because of more expectations. People should not react more than what is necessary," he added.
Tuesday's win ensures that India face Australia in the best of three finals starting in Sydney on March 2 and Tendulkar emphasised the need for the top order to fire if they have to turn the tables against the world champions.
The top order has been the Achilles' heel for India, largely annulling the fine show by the young bowlers so far in the series.
"We have to ensure that we do not lose early wickets against Australia. Only then we have a chance to beat them. We have to plan our strategies for the finals. Brett Lee has been bowling well, I think we have to work out how to tackle him."
