Can India bring 2012 T20 World Cup home for the second time?


The Indian team would leave for Sri Lanka to compete in the T20 World Cup in quite some time. The selectors once again announced a team that has some of the best names but also a few which have raised many eyebrows.

Gautam Gambhir, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh are the seven players who were a part of the Indian squad than won the maiden T20 World Cup organised in Johannesburg in 2007.

The announcement would have come as a huge relief for two players-Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma. Bhajji went into hibernation after his struggle in the Indian Premier League where he failed both as a Mumbai Indians skipper and as a spin bowler.

The Indian selectors have played a gamble by including a few players out of the blues. These could be the players who can make it or break it at the big stage for the 2007 T20 world champion.

T20 squad: MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Irfan Pathan, R Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, L Balaji, Piyush Chawla, Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Dinda.
