    World Cup 2011- Indian XI

    What should be India's first choice 11? In my opinion:

    1. Sehwag
    2. Sachin
    3. Gambhir
    4. Yuvraj
    5. Virat Kohli
    6. Dhoni
    7. Yusuf Pathan
    8. Bhajji
    9. Zaheer Khan
    10. Praveen Kumar
    11. Munaf Patel

    I think Yusuf has sealed the 7th no. slot. The key dilemma would be between Kohli/Raina and Munaf/Nehra or 2 of Munaf/Nehra/PK. In the first case, I choose Kohli on current form. The counter argument is that Raina is a totally different player on Indian pitches. Amongst the bowlers, Munaf has been bowling really well off late. And Nehra has been leaking runs. But before last couple of series, he was supposedly Dhoni's first choice seamer. So, let's see.

    If not injured, PK will definitely play. He is a fine swing bowler and much better fielder than both Nehra and Munaf. (Munaf as a fielder is very very poor; he can NOT even throw the ball from the boundary).

    I suspect Kohli will play. He is in-form batsman and a good fielder. Only advantage Raina has over Kohli is his spin bowling (Kohli bowls slow medium pace~ 115 kmph) but if Yuvi and Yusuf both are playing Raina's bowling may not be required.

    I would like to see Raina and Nehra instead of Kohli and Munaf RESPECTIVELY.
    It's better to be alone than in a bad company.
