India Info
India are renowned for their flamboyant batters but have in recent years given rise to a number of respectable bowlers. They have quite a balanced team and some serious mettle in the form of Harbhajan Singh, who has sorted out both Matthew Hayden and his own team-mate Sreesanth. He is just an example of the new ruthlessness appearing in Indian cricket.
