No surprises here, Rohit Sharma's in, Dinesh Karthik is out. Both the Pathan brothers are in, but some of their second cousins who grew up fetching the ball for them, couldn't make it. The Singh parivar outnumbers the Pathans - Yuvraj, Harbhajan and newly charged deccan kid RP. Ravendra Jadeja makes it while Ajay Jadeja sits it out on one of the networks.
Firing Squad: MS Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Pragyan Ojha, Irfan Pathan.

Apparently IPL form did not count in selection. Though to be fair, I can not suggest any alternatives to those selected.
Kamran Khan should be in. Also, there is a strong case for Sudeep Tyagi and Jakati. I think they might do well to give Harbhajan a break and take Ojha or Jakati. Ishant should be given a break too. Further, Karthik needs to be in. His exclusion was very surprising. I have serious doubts that Shoni will last the distance. His back problem is the best kept secret in the dressing room, not unlike Yuvi's bum knee. Sehwag's form is troubling. He needs a break out innings like Dhoni had today.
NC my man the Singh parivar definitely outnumbers the pathans but ur forgetting the biggest singh of all... the skipper: Mahendra Singh!!
How cud u?
