Team News
India
Indian team needs to forget their bad performance in WCT20 and start the series afresh. Some of the big names like Sachin, Sehwag and Zaheer are missing from the squad. Jadeja, Badrinath, Vijay and Nehra should monetize this opportunity by performing up to the expectations.
It would be interesting to see who opens with Gambhir. Will it be Rohit again or will any one from Dinesh and Vijay will get a chance?
Possible Eleven
Seems like only one from Vijay, Dinesh or Badrinath will be selected for the playing eleven. Dinesh or Vijay could be a good choice for the opening slot and Rohit may come back to the middle order.
India
- Gautam Gambhir
- Vijay / Dinesh / Badrinath
- Rohit Sharma
- MS Dhoni (capt./wk)
- Yuvraj Singh
- Yusuf Pathan
- Ravindra Jadeja
- Harbhajan Singh
- Ishant Sharma
- RP Singh
- Ashish Nehra / Praveen Kumar
