Yes, the biggest cricketing event is round the corner and 40 days down the line, teams will battle for supremacy in Indian backyard..It's about time when times are pruning their list of 30 probables to final 15...
For a exuberant India, there's a different problem-THE PLAYING ELEVEN
let's analyze::1,2,3 are secured for Sachin, Sehwag and Gambhir...Yuvraj and Dhoni too select themselves....as per bowling is concerned Zaheer and Bhajji fill two spots down the order....That makes SEVEN secured spots...the fight is therefore for four spots...
Time for some combinations and permutations...Number 4,5 is an open oppurtunity for likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Yousuf Pathan...whoever is in prime form...Not to count out in-form Saurabh Tiwary too having an outside chance!!
The ongoing SA ODi series will be last chance for the contenders to impress...but given the recent form, The Delhi batter Kohli stands a more higher chance than fellow batters.Besides the crowded middle order, same problem awaits India in bowling department. The two spots are up in contention...The recent trends favour Praveen Kumar and Nehra fighting for second seamer spot....while Ashwin and Ojha compete for playing second fiddle to Bhajji. Sreesanth and Ishant might just miss the bus when it comes to final 11.Interestingly, there's Piyush Chawla, Vinay Kumar who could surprise us ....
With such cushion of backup players available, India can breathe easily now. The squad is more tested and composed than the 2007 ' Experienced' squad.......and if the fitness issues allow, 1983 might revisit this year
GO INDIA GO:):)
