INDIAN TEAM

Indian squad for the 2011 World cup is

The 15-member team is:

• MS Dhoni (C)
• Sachin Tendulkar
• Virender Sehwag
• Gautam Gambhir
• Yuvraj Singh
• Suresh Raina
• Virat Kohli
• Yusuf Pathan (all-rounder)
• Zaheer Khan
• Ashish Nehra
• Munaf Patel
• Praveen Kumar
• Harbhajan Singh
• R. Ashwin
• Piyush Chawla

They might play with 5 batsman, 1 WK, 1 BIG hitter and 4 bowlers.

The batsman in the team will be as follows

· Sachin

· Sehwag

· Gambhir

· Kohli

· Raina

To be honest this must be top five. YUVRAJ doesn’t deserve to be in top 5. He can fight his place with Yusuf. The next two Batsman may be

· MSD

· Pathan/Yuvraj

Yuvraj can’t fight with neither of Kohli and raina. As they are the best in asian pitches. So he can have a place fight with Yusuf. Its time to earn a place in INDIAN team rather than getting a place in name of credits

The Bowlers may be picked as below

· Harbhajan

· Zaheer

· Praveen Kumar

· Nehra

As there is a batting power play, any team won’t go with more spinners , unless the pitch looks terrible slow which is unlikely to happen in this world cup. Also playing Munaf in eleven will cost INDIA the match. If Harbhajan fails or picks injury then India will play with ASHWIN. I want to see Ashwin playing in any one match , as he deserve to be in WC.

India is sure favorites to reach last four. That will be cake-walk. But from then on winning two matches to take cup will be difficult
