Chawla and Vinay Kumar grabed the spot,Injured Shewag replaced by Vijay
Skipper MS.Dhoni is quite confident of the teams performace in this years World T-20 after the triumph of Chennai Super Kings in the 3rd IPL under his leadership.It is also quite clear that standards of Indian cricket are brought up and many domestic players under limelight were brought in to recognition during this prestigious league.It is quite interesting that selectors didn't preferred Pragyan Ojha to other leggy Piyush Chawla,since Ojha stood as the leading wicket taker of this IPL with 21 wickets in 16 matches at an average of 20.42.Rather it would be a better choice to pick Amith Mishra another leggy who is the 2nd leading wicket taker of this seasons IPL.Even though IPL isn't the criteria for the selection,it would be better to see the players current form for the tourney's like Twenty-Twenty cricket.Robin Uthappa, However the dashing Karnataka batsman hasn't been in the best of form during the season. Although he had a few big knocks to his name, consistency is one thing which Robin lacked. He tried to add an extra dimension to his abilities by keeping wickets for Royal Challengers Bangalore with an eye on the World T20 selection, but he failed to do a convincing job with both, the gloves and the bat. However, Uthappa is a match-winner when in form,His ability to bat at any position from No 1-7 makes his case stronger as do his keeping skills.Injured Sehwag was out of the squad and Murali Vijay who displayed good batting skill in IPL-3 is to replace him.
India T-20 Squad for World T-20,2010 West Indies:MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Murali Vijay, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan, Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla, Vinay Kumar, Rohit Sharma.
