India is the defending champion of ICC World twenty20 popularly known as T20 world cup. It won the T20 World cup 2007 in South Africa defeating Pakistan in the final by 5 runs. The second T20 world cup is set to begin from 5th June, 2009 in England. India has announced its squad for this time lead by MS Dhoni and full of youngsters. It has a great batting lineup but bowling may be a weak part of India.
Like the previous T20 world cup, most senior players like Sachin are out. But this young team is a strong team like that in 2007 which finally won the series. India are in group A and will be playing its first match against Bangladesh in June 6, 2009. The recent IPL has provided the Indians a great practise in Twenty20 cricket and the experiece in IPL 2009 will be a great benefit for Indians in World twenty20. India have a great batting lineup but I don't think the bowling lineup is brilliant.
Indian Team for T20 world cup 2009:
MS Dhoni (captain)
Virender Sehwag
Gautam Gambhir
Suresh Raina
Yuvraj Singh
Yusuf Pathan
Rohit Sharma
Ravindra Jadeja
Harbhajan Singh
Zaheer Khan
