Twenty20 World Cup 2007: Profiles of Indian Cricketers
For Twenty20 World Cup 2007
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain)
Ajit Agarkar
Brings experience to a young bowling attack, Agarkar has almost 200 ODIs along with 26 Tests to his name. Perhaps most famous for the Test-record seven successive ducks, Agarkar would perhaps rather be remembered as the fastest man to 50 ODI wickets. The bowling has undoubtedly lost a bit of the early nip, but he remains an effective performer with both bat and ball.
Piyush Chawla
Still only 18 years old, Chawla is a legspinner of rare promise. Came to prominence by dismissing Sachin Tendulkar with a googly, and has already made his Test debut as the long-term successor to Anil Kumble. Has yet to really fire in an embryonic international career, but everything suggests Chawla - no mug with the bat either - has a stellar career ahead of him.
Gautam Gambhir
An attractive left-handed strokemaker, Gambhir has often been the victim of selectorial whimsy. Averages over 35 despite a stop-start Test career, and has two ODI tons to his name. His slight frame belies decent weight of stroke, with the carve over point a particular speciality.
Dinesh Karthik
The wicketkeeper-turned-opening-batsman made his Test debut while still in his teens, but after a scratchy start with both bat and gloves he was jettisoned in favour of the more dynamic Dhoni. Another player to benefit from the World Cup fiasco, Karthik put his hand up to fill the problematic opener's role in the Test side and made a ton in
Irfan Pathan
Still only 22 years old, Pathan's career has seen an astonishing rise - when touted as the all-round successor to Kapil Dev while in his teens - followed by an equally speedy descent when he was sent home from a tour to
Yusuf Pathan
Older brother of Irfan, this will be the all-rounder's first taste of international cricket. Has a useful record in Indian domestic cricket - averaging around 30 with the bat in both forms of the game - while his offspin is also tidy. But it's his aggressive batting - he was the fastest runscorer in the 2006-07 Ranji Trophy - that has earned him his chance to don the blue shirt of
Virender Sehwag
Jettisoned from
Joginder Sharma
A hard-hitting all-rounder who bowls on the brisk side of medium, Sharma is another player seemingly weighed down by inevitable comparisons to the great Kapil Dev. Despite playing only four ODIs, an average of 30 and a strike-rate of 116 show why he has been recalled for this competition, while a first-class bowling record of 184 records at better than 20s is certainly worthy of respect.
Harbhajan Singh
Still best-known for his astonishing 32 wickets against the all-conquering Aussies in 2001, a series where no other
Rohit Sharma
Twenty-year-old newcomer Sharma is a top-order batsman of great promise, but in his two ODIs to date he has had little chance to impress, not needed in a nine-wicket win over Ireland before coming in late in the piece against South Africa three days later, perishing for just eight in nine balls. But he has impressed in the under-19 World Cup and has a first-class average over 40. Also bowls offspin.
RP Singh
Impressive young left-arm quick who has all the attributes needed for an international bowler. Generates good pace from a wiry frame and swings the ball both ways. Caused
Yuvraj Singh
For so long now the next big thing in Indian batting, Yuvraj has still to cement a permanent place in the Test team. But his powerful strokeplay, lifting his heavy bat high and hitting nervelessly through the line, make him a certainty in shorter forms of the game. Bowls canny left-arm spin and is dynamite in the field, especially in the critical backward-point position for the seamers.
Shanthakumaran Sreesanth
One of the game's characters. Whether busting moves to celebrate a wicket or swinging his bat round his head after hitting Andre Nel for six, the game is rarely dull when Sree's involved. Can be expensive, but his aggressive approach makes him a genuine wicket-taker capable of troubling the best with a fast, whippy action. Describes his pre-delivery psyche-up routine as "a habit... like brushing my teeth".
Robin Uthappa
Uthappa has been a consistently heavy run scorer in limited-overs cricket and has been in and out of the
After finishing a long tour, they are well practiced. Some of the players practices hard in their home. So

Twenty20 World Cup Championship: Pakistan will perform fighting fit
Vcricket has published a long article about
"We have a balanced outfit and there are certain players who can change the complexion of the game," said Malik, signalling out explosive opener Imran Nazir, all-rounder Shahid Afridi and express paceman Shoaib Akhtar as his key men.
"I am quite happy to see their positive nature. They are keen to do well but in Twenty20 we can prepare strategies, try and find the right balance, work out plans and play any number of practice games but that can only take you so far. Until the first match happens, we won't really know what to expect."
I think Shoeb Akter’s back has disappeared strongly on the player’s mentality.

Twenty20 World Cup Cricket 2007: Profile of Sri Lankan Cricketers
Mahela Jayawardene (captain)
The
Dilharo Fernando
A hugely-promising bowler with the potential to be better but for a career blighted by injury. Suffered two stress fractures of the back in a year, but forced his way back into the
Hasantha Fernando
Recalled to international cricket after performing well in
Kaushal Lokuarachchi
An all-rounder who bowls legspin, Lokuarachchi is another player who has impressed in domestic Twenty20 action. In his eight matches for Sinhalese Sports Club he has picked up 134 wickets at under 12s and has also scored runs at the death for his side. Has impressed for
Sanath Jayasuriya
A genuine all-rounder in shorter forms of the game, Jayasuriya's left-arm spin proves surprisingly effective with variations in pace and flight causing problems for most. But it is as a destructive opening batsman he is better known and in his Twenty20 career so far he has scored his runs at a strike rate of over 158. Has experience in county cricket of Twenty20 with
Farveez Maharoof
An exciting young quick who has the potential to be a genuine all-rounder if he can peform more consistently with the bat. Has made 72 ODI appearances during which time he has peformed well with the ball, picking up 90 wickets at under 26s. Has limited Twenty20 experience but his ability to perform well under pressure should help in this form of the game.
Lasith Malinga
His uncomplicated strategy - bowling very fast and very straight - should make him an ideal death bowler in this form of the game. Malinga played in Kent's winning Twenty20 Cup side this year, although he didn't have the same impact as he did at the World Cup in the West Indies where he claimed four wickets in four balls against South Africa.
Jehan Mubarak
A graceful left-hander who will need to deliver on his undoubted promise if he is to keep his place in the
Dilruwan Perera
Called up as a late replacement for Muttiah Muralitharan after Murali suffered a bicep injury playing for Lancashire against
Kumar Sangakkara
One of the best wicketkeeper-batsman around, who has impressed in both Test and ODI cricket. Has played three Twenty20 internationals but so far has failed to adapt to the shorter form of the game. But Sangakkara is a player of undoubted world-class and should come to terms with this format soon enough.
Chamara Silva
Silva's call-up to the national side in 1999 was thought by many to be long overdue after heavy scoring in domestic cricket, but since then he has not managed to hold down a regular place in the side, despite a cracking start to his Test career. Has played little Twenty20 cricket so will need to adapt quickly if he is to be successful in this tournament, although he performed well in the World Cup.
Upul Tharanga
An opening batsman who has produced some fantastic innings in ODI cricket, including a century at Lord's against
Tillakaratne Dilshan
Never quite holding down a regular place in the side, Dilshan is nevertheless a useful man to have around. Pretty much a complete cricketer, he is a steady if unspectacular batsman, bowls useful off-breaks and is lightning fast in the field. Has played two Twenty20 internationals and will be hoping to cement a regular place in the side during this tournament.
Chaminda Vaas
One of
Gayan Wijekoon
Is an all-rounder of considerable promise who after playing two Test matches against the
Muthiah Muralidharan absence is a lack of
Twenty20 World Cup 2007: Inidan team and Uthappa
An article has published in the HindustanTimes site.
"I have been practising different shots for the Twenty-20 World Cup, and they came out perfectly," said Uthappa after
Uthappa went on to put on 60 runs from just 46 balls with Dhoni and, despite three wickets falling in the last two overs, kept his cool to hit two successive boundaries in the final over to guide India home.
Really that short was very good and most require for winning the match. As a young player he played well. My thought is that
