Is India Ready?:World Cup 2011

The Final Word

In an ideal world, I'd love to see India explore the above options during the ODI series against New Zealand, and end that series with a clear idea of its playing eleven, and first choice alternatives for the various slots.

Early days yet, and surprises could emerge between now and then, but given the form of date, here’s the side I’d like to see take the field on February 19:

1)      Virender Sehwag
2)      Sachin Tendulkar
3)      Gautam Gambhir
4)      MS Dhoni
5)      Suresh Raina
6)      Virat Kohli
7)      Yusuf Pathan
8)      Ravichandran Ashwin
9)      Zaheer Khan
10)   Ashish Nehra
11)   Pragyan Ojha

Reserves: Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Wriddhiman Saha. 

Comments and criticism welcome. If you were sitting down right now to pick the playing eleven and reserves for the Cup, who would you pick, and why?
