Not the one *you* would pick, but the one you think the selectors will.
IMO, Kohli has played himself into a spot, so India's top 7 are:
Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Raina, Kohli, Dhoni
On the bowling side, Munaf is surely in (talk about "Carpe Diem)
Zaheer, Harbhajan, Munaf are locks so that makes 10, and surely Yusuf Pathan is the allrounder.
I believe Praveen Kumar is almost surely in, as he was held back to prevent further injury.
That leaves 4 people -- one more pacer, one more spinner, one reserve batsman and one reserve keeper --to fit into 3 slots. What is your guess for the chosen XV??
Mine is
Dhoni, Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Raina, Kohli, Pathan, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Munaf,
PLUS
Nehra, Ashwin, Rohit Sharma
(Yes Nehra makes it based on his excellent performance in India. Too bad Karthik is out of the picture here).
