Discussion thread for India's 2011 World Cup campaign.
The probables -
To me, the current Indian side looks like a very strong unit. They have been performing quite well of late. The fact that this World Cup is being played at the subcontinent makes them the team to be beat and boosts their chances of actually winning the tournament.
Players to look out for - Sachin Tendulkar (this, most probably, is his last World Cup and he'd definitely like to make it special both for himself and the country), Virat Kohli (he has been phenomenal recently and scored the second highest runs in ODIs last year, only next to Hashim Amla, thus making him an essential member of the Indian side) and R Ashwin (though his selection in the playing XI is highly unlikely considering that the likes of Harbhajan Singh is already in the team, his ability to ball effectively in the powerplays and the death overs makes him a player to look out for).
The probables -
MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Murali Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Saurabh Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Parthiv Patel , R Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha, Dinesh Karthik, Shikhar Dhawan, Amit Mishra, Piyush Chawla, Cheteshwar Pujara, Pragyan Ojha, Praveen Kumar.
