India kicks off their twenty20 world cup 2009 campaign with the match against Bangladesh on 6 June, before facing Ireland on 10 June. Now, the question is that if Indian team is suffering from any kind of fatigue due to their tiresome international schedule over the last few months. First, India toured New Zealand and then Indian players took part in the IPL 2009 in South Africa. After that they returned to India and took part in training camp for the twenty20 world cup and then recently set out for England. So, there are enough reasons for Indian players to feel tired.
Well, India has a squad which seems to be best in the tournament, at least on paper. The team features a number of hard hitters who are among the best most fearsome big hitters. Most importantly, India has a very deep batting depth because of a number of quality all rounders. India’s bowling attack is also very balanced and features variety as it includes both right arm and left arm pacers as well as off spinner, leg spinner and left arm spinners. Most of the players can bowl to some extent and some of them are pretty much effective. The only worry is perhaps the team fatigue which could be crucial in the tournament.
Now, let us know what the Indian legends are thinking about think about the current Indian team, which is now in England to participate in world t20, and the probability of Indian team to defend the title. Sachin Tendulkar thinks that India will go into the tournament as a complete package which, he thinks, is best at this moment. Former Indian captain Anil Kumble also thinks that Indian squad is the most balanced and if Indian players can play according to their potential, then India will win the tournament again. Sunil Gavaskar does not think that Indian players are tired after playing in IPL 2009; rather, he believes Dhoni’s men will not suffer from fatigue. Australian legend Greg Chappell thinks India is the favorite side to win the title.
