Nagpur, Jan 20: Under-performing India will seek to rediscover their winning touch and find the ideal team composition ahead of the World Cup as they go into the four-match one-day cricket series against the West Indies here tomorrow.
The series will provide the beleaguered Indian team another opportunity to sort out their problems which has persisted for much too long, particularly in the batting department.
The selectors have cracked the whip by dropping out-of-form players like Virender Sehwag and Irfan Pathan and recalling Sourav Ganguly into the one-day fold after a long gap but it remains to be seen whether these changes would have the desired results.
Ganguly, who has returned to the one-day squad after a gap of 15 months, will get back to his favourite place at the top and open the innings along with another left-hander Gautam Gambhir.
The performance of the former captain would be crucial to India's fortunes against the Caribbeans who seem to enjoy a psychological advantage over Rahul Dravid's men in recent times with an impressive record of six wins against two losses.
A convincing series win is the need of the hour for the Indians who have plunged from one low to another in the ODIs after having started a fine run of 17 wins against 5 defeats last season at the VCA Stadium here. (Agencies)
