Indian XI
India Name Team
On the eve of the first Test match Indian team management have named their preferred team to take on Sri Lanka. Opting to go with two spinners and three fast bowlers could turn out to be a risk, but with batting legends like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar the gamble looks less risky than it would with other teams. Virender Sehwag retains his opening spot but has been put on notice, the Indian team need him to score runs and he can no longer rely on his past acheivements.
Sreesanth was the unlucky seamer to miss out, but with Irfan Pathan giving the lower order some solid batting ability it was a move based on players being able to multi-task. Yuvraj Singh will be the 12th man.
1. Wasim Jaffer
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Rahul Dravid (c)
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. VVS Laxman
6. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk)
7. Irfan Pathan
8. Anil Kumble
9. Harbhajan Singh
10. Zaheer Khan
11. Munaf Patel
12th man: Yuvraj Singh
