Bell seems certain to play in England's final warm-up match, a four-day fixture starting in Ahmedabad on Thursday against Haryana.
He avoided a golden duck in the second innings against Mumbai A thanks to a dropped catch at leg-gully and went on to make his first worthwhile runs in three knocks on tour.
Even so, he knows he has something to prove to himself and others when it comes to playing spin in India.
"I probably haven't had as much success out here as other places," said Bell. "I see that as a bit of a challenge now.
"I see my playing of spin generally as pretty good. But I haven't scored the big hundreds out here in India that I would like.
"Obviously, the conditions are completely different to what we normally see and grow up with.
"The difficult thing in the middle order is starting, and trying to get through your first 20 or 30 deliveries.
"If you work really hard in those first 30 balls, then you hope as a group we can go on and bat big."
England's failings against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates last winter - when Bell made just 51 runs in six innings - have sown doubts in some quarters about how they will fare here.
"I know obviously last winter was a really hard series personally," he said. "I've worked as hard as I can since that tour on my playing of spin, and I look forward to these challenges now."
