Look at the Indian players in this year IPL and you can guess what to expect from them in WorldT20 coming late April. Lets start from opening pair for batting. Sehwag is going through no form basically, Gambhir is scoring pea nuts. Yuvraj Singh when last he scored 20+ probably he didn't remember. Dhoni is a big failure in this edition of IPL both as a player and a captain. Yusuf Pathan is basically a gamble, no doubt he is a match winner in T20 format but cant expect consistency from him. Ravinder Jadeja hasnt played cricket off late so cant say much about him. Dinesh Karthik another failure in this year IPL. Rohit Sharma has done reasonably well for DC but not expecting him to be a part of playing 11straight way since bigger names are present in the team. Raina is the only hope for Indians as far as batting is concern.
Bowling is looking good with Zaheer is in good form bowling almost 10 dot balls per match which is good i believe in this format. Nehra though started late in this years IPL but doing well. Bhajji is fine in patches. Praveen kumar not getting opportunity in RCB itself i don't know how he will claim his berth in playing 11. Vinay kumar one of the highest wicket takers in IPL3 is having a excellent slow ball. Chawala dont know on what basis has been selected but has done well in patches. India is missing a All rounder who can bowl medium pace.
Since its a batsman's game and all the big hitters are in no form, expecting them to win rather reaching semi final of T20 world cup will be like hurting yourself. Lets see.. only time will tell..
