It seems like he is playing as per the game plan. But he should definitely rotate the strike and not play any maiden overs. Link for gameplan: http://cricket.expressindia.com/worldcup/07/story.php?storyid=82596
On Indian Express, we get a peek into the possible game plan that our team will employ in it's bid for the World Cup. On the team sheet, this would mean seven batsmen and four bowlers, with Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Dhoni expected to play key roles. Tendulkar, at No 4, is expected to take the scoring reins around the 12-20 overs phase, Yuvraj, at No 5, during the 20-30 overs period, and Dhoni thereafter. Hopefully, holding fort at the other end will be comeback man Sourav Ganguly in the opening overs and skipper Rahul Dravid later. In this blueprint, you will also find Virender Sehwag, struggling for form and focus, slated to get one final shot as opener, with Ganguly.
