Ideal Team Indian with current talent pool
by joseph george on Mar 28, 2007 08:25 PM

The new ODI Team India IV should be :-

Mohammed Kaif(Captain)
Dinesh Karthik(wk)
Zaheer Khan
Ishant Patel
Robin Uthappa
Yuvraj Singh(VC)
Suresh Raina
Irfan Pathan
Munaf Patel
Gautham Gambhir
Piyush Chawla
Ravneet Ricky
Abhishek Jhunjhunvala
Ambatti Rayyudu
MS Dhoni

Saurav, Dravid were not included becauce they've no realistic chance of playing in the 2011 WC

Sachin, Sehwag were not selected because their time is up, in fact they shouldnt even have made the trip to Windies for the 2007 version of the tournament.

By the way the best coach would be Tom Moody or Robin Singh

On why Kaif should be captain, he is the only Indian below 30 who has captained a world cup winning team, although its at the under-19 level in 1999. But hey thats were the future is. Gautham, Suresh Raina, Uthappa, Irfan and Dhoni have been miserable failures in the recent past, but who hasnt been one. When did Sehwag, Sachin, Dravid etc win / save us a match in the last 3-4 years.

The test team should be :-

Mohammed Kaif(Captain)
Dinesh Karthik(wk)
Zaheer Khan
Ishant Patel
Saurav Ganguly
Yuvraj Singh(VC)
VVS Laxman
Irfan Pathan
Munaf Patel
Sachin Tendulkar
Piyush Chawla
Amol Muzumdar
Abhishek Jhunjhunvala
Virendar Sehwag
MS Dhoni
