Team India - Players to watch out in the World Cup 2011 (Part 2)
Yousaf Pathan can easily be called a one man army, as he can single-handedly take the match away from the opposition and that too in no time. His fearless and merciless hitting has on many occasions won matches for India. He comes out to
bat lower down the order and sometimes when his team is in difficult circumstances. The string of outstanding performances in the recent series has further consolidated his reputation of being a match winner. He is a very useful ODI bowler as well. His right
arm off break can serve his country well in the favourable conditions at home. His all-round services will be high in demand during the course of the World Cup.
The master off-spinner Harbhajan Singh role
in India’s bid of winning its 2nd World cup cannot be overstated. The spinning wizard who has several times spun India to victory will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders as he will among the senior most bowlers. He has
years of experience and bundles of wickets under his belt and he will look to utilize all of it to outwit the opposition batsmen. The conditions in the Subcontinent will make his work a lot easier and he should be able to thrive in such ideal conditions.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashish-Nehra-c46293 is another experienced campaigner for India, on whom they will greatly rely to fulfil the role of a strike fast bowler. His performance in the 2003 World Cup was brilliant in which he took 19 wickets to see India through to
the final. That proves he knows when to step up his game and give stellar performances when his team requires him to. He was also the highest wicket taker for India last year so that will mean he is in very good shape and will be an asset for the team.
The fast bowler who will lead the pack of bowlers for India in the Mega Event will be
Zaheer Khan. The bowler who has often been compared with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 has matured into one of the finest fast bowlers India has produced. He has always had talent but there was a time when injuries and inconsistent performances
kept him out of the game. But he has come back tougher and mentally stronger. His ability to reverse the ball both ways coupled with the mind tricks he plays with the bowlers puts him in a totally different league when compared to the other Indian seamers.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 will look to him to provide early break-throughs with the new ball and rely on him to come back and reverse swing the ball to create more problems for the batsmen on the flat Subcontinent wickets.
It is evident from the aforementioned list of players that India has all the firepower needed to triumph in the World Cup. These players are world class performers and if they are able to live up to the massive reputations then India will definitely have
an excellent chance of advancing to the finals. It is pertinent to mention that if some of these players do not perform to their potential, even then India has the luxury of falling back on to some quality players who can be extremely effective. There are
few sides in the world that can boast off similar credentials and claim to do the same.
