Overall analysis of the squad: They are looking balanced as they have gone for maximum overseas all rounder. However they need lot of thinking when it comes to deciding their ideal playing XI in every encounter. Mohd Azharduddin might get an opportunity to open the innings. However they needed an experience Indian fast bowler as for overseas player there is a limitations. There is lot of thinking that they need to do before finalizing their bowlers in every match.
