"Joe Root needs to hammer home to his men that they have a point to prove and try to replicate that angry England team that arrived at Headingley and hammered Pakistan in their last Test. Go back and say to the players: 'What were you thinking that first day at Headingley?," Vaughan wrote in the 'Daily Telegraph'.
"Sometimes it is not done in team chats. Sometimes you are better off speaking to individuals. Go to each individual and ask: 'Why did you arrive in Leeds with more intensity'?"
England beaten Pakistan through an innings and 55 runs in the Headingley Test in June.
"This England team has to find that attitude without first having to be stirred into a response through criticism after a hammering. Maybe the Adil Rashid furore will help," said Vaughan, who was one of the key characters involved in the Rashid "furore".
"England will not win every game, they are not good enough, but their mindset and mentality can be the same every week."
The five-match series begins in Birmingham on Wednesday.
Regarding the prolific Root, he said, "He averages over 50 from 16 Tests as captain. I would have snatched your hand off for that moderate. The simplest drawback for Joe is that he has no longer scored the masses he should have performed.
"He has found his form in the one-day recreation and were given out of his machine the disappointment and anger, and looking to bat like any individual else fairly than trusting his personal recreation. All he wishes is to be himself."
He concept learn how to cross is to wear the Indian bowlers down.
"This is the easiest series. The pitches will probably be good, he is a smart player of spin and you'll be able to wear India's seamers down as a result of I do not believe they're going to be that disciplined. Outfields will probably be fast. Everything is about up for Joe to have an excellent series."
As for Cook, Vaughan expects consistency from essentially the most skilled player in the current set-up.
"Alastair Cook wishes to search out consistency. One huge score in a series in conjunction with loads of low rankings is not any good. He wishes consistency over the following 5 games. And he has to pull Keaton Jennings with him.
"Yes, Cook has to look after his own performance, but it would be nice to take Jennings with him so whenever he leaves the Test team he has made sure England have a decent, half-experienced opening batsman to take on his mantle."
"He scored a hundred on debut in Mumbai and it is always nice to know you are playing against a team you have had success against before. That could be worth a lot for him."
The ex-captain spoke about his most popular aggregate to tackle Kohli and Co. over the following month and a half.
"If England cross with six bowlers it is too many. Six covers too many bases. You are almost no longer trusting your bowlers to be good enough. Personally, I would pack the batting and select the best 5 bowlers, with Root the sixth as a part-timer.
"England's issues have been no longer getting enough big rankings at the board and this Test crew has to figure out how they'll make 400-550 frequently, no longer simply in one-off games.
"If it is four seamers and one spinner, effective, or three and two on account of stipulations then also effective, however don't be any longer funky than that. With the heat and how dry it has been I think they're going to cross with two spinners.
He also expressed his perspectives concerning the much-anticipated conflict between Kohli and the pair of Anderson and Broad.
"I used to be important of them prior to Headingley. They have been exceptional in that recreation and they're going to have to be exceptional again.
"It is always hard when you have had a long break from Test cricket to get that vibe again. The good thing for England is they are playing at Edgbaston. We just don't lose there and Stuart Broad and James Anderson love bowling at the ground," he said.
"You expect Broad and Anderson to step up and challenge Kohli's front foot. Bowl outside off-stump and then throw the odd one in straight to get him playing across the line and scissor his feet," he added.
Speaking concerning the Indian run-machine's batting, he seen, "You want his entrance left-foot going over to the off aspect, he then begins doubting the place his off-stump is and playing squarer at the off aspect which is when the out of doors edge comes into play.
"England did it in the one-day series at times. He was susceptible a yard out of doors off-stump and the likes of Anderson and Broad have to hang it in the market and say 'Come to us'. If there may be any motion in the air they're going to be a real danger."
