The batting lineup should be 1) S . GANGULY 2) V . SEHWAG / R . UTTHAPA (should be bat within powerplay) 3) S . TENDULKAR 4) Y . SINGH 5) R . DRAVID 6) M . DHONI 7) I . PATHAN 8) A . AGARKAR 9) H . SINGH 10) Z . KHAN 11) M . PATEL
I prefer if Yuvi comes above Dravid ie. Yuvi at no.4 and Dravid at no.5 Then Dravid will get the pivot role of rotating the strike and in case of a batting collapse, he can be the wall to stay there till the end. It will be similar to Inzamaan's batting positon in his team.
I think this idea was also suggested by Dravid or Chapell also. The prevoius team I mentioned is used to increase the bowling strength. In case, you want use only 4 bowlers only, then the team becomes 1) S . GANGULY 2) V . SEHWAG (should be bat within powerplay) 3) R . UTTHAPA (should be bat within powerplay) 4) S . TENDULKAR 5) Y . SINGH 6) R . DRAVID 7) M . DHONI 8) A . AGARKAR 9) H . SINGH 10) Z . KHAN 11) M . PATEL I . PATHAN

Putting Agarkar and Sreesanth at the same time, will be dangerous. The chances that they will be expensive is nearly 50%. If both become expensive in the same match, the target to chase will be large. Or, if bowling second, this will make things worse. Therefore, at any cost, do not put both Agarkar and Sresanth in the same team. Plus Agarkar can bat and Munaf is economical.
