All-Rounders: Yusuf Pathan, Stuart Binny and Irfan Pathan

The performance of this trio will decide the fate of the team. India also has suitable backups in the form of Reetinder Sodhi and Joginder Sharma.

Bowlers: Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Dinda, S Sreesanth and Pravin Tambe

He could come in based on the conditions. The pace department will be led by S Sreesanth and Ashok Dinda. It will be a new experience for both these players. Since both these players have recently retired, they will be backed to do well in the tournament.
