Kohli and Yuvi take two slots. Gambhir, Azhar, Dravid, Jadeja, and Raina are all candidates for the other slot. I choose Kohli at 3, Yuvi at 4, and Dravid at 5. Dravid played a great role as a finisher for years until the world cup and he provides stability against tough bowling. Azhar would be the main backup – despite his tarnished record.
Four and Five downs:
Dhoni is wicketkeeper and captain. Dravid can keep in an emergency. For, choose Sehwag. Sehwag will really be a floater. We have always lacked firepower at lower middler order positions and Sehwag will provide it. And anyway his average innings lasts only balls. Between Sachin, Saurabh, Sehwag, Yuvi, and Kohli we can squeeze in overs.
Bowlers:
Kapil, Zak, Kumble And Sri. Bajji is too defensive, but will be the spin backup. Prabhakar/Prasad/Agarkar will provide pace backups.
So the team is: Sachin, Saurabh, Kohli, Yuvi, Dravid, Dhoni, Sehwag, Kapil, Sri, Kumble and Zak. Reserves are: Azhar, Raina, Prabhakar, Agarkar and Bhajji.
