India - WC 20-20 2009: Not very Easy Way Ahead

India - very strong contender for WC T-20 2009; not only because they are champions of previous WC but the team is very strong and they performed very well at IPL-2009.

But…..there are certainly a lot of ifs and buts in their way towards the glory.

1. Dhoni: Is it necessary to play at No. 3 for him?

2. Sehwag: What had he done? Is he really injured or management and dhoni had made him “Barka”?

3. Bowling: A big Question mark?

Zahir bowled beautifully in last match. But still nobody knows whether he is 100% fit or not. Other bowlers have really lost their way. Ishant is bowling at good line & length in middle overs; but still he can’t be utilised is death overs.

Harbhajan - Is he only good for tests played in India or what? He bowls exceptionally well in one match and loses his way in next 3-4 matches. Pragyan Ozha though bowling nicely, is still very new to international cricket and India can’t rely on him too much.

Batting: Gambhir & Rohit opening the innings. Raina & yuvraj to follow - Looks very strong Upper Order. In Middle order, you have Dhoni, Yusuf & Irfan. I strongly believe that Pathan Brothers are good asset for India 20-20 team; they can hit the ball very hard and can bowl also. With Duo in team, you can have flexibility to play extra batsman or bowler as per conditions.

I strongly recommend that Raina should play at No. 3; whatever is the situation. No. 4 , 5, 6 can be changed as per the situation.

There are lots of points to be discussed; which we can & we will in this blog in coming days….so please share your valuable thoughts…………….
