India as a team is a single player
India have everything and more
The team of 2007 is very steady.
Factors helping India -
The best indian team going for the World Cup after the 1983 Presidential Cup. India has found good openers in Ganguly and Uthappa, with Sehwag in there too. Yuvraj, Dravid, Dhoni and Tendulkar steady the middle order to form one of the best middle order batting. Lower middle order of Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer can hit a few runs too.
As on bowling - Zaheer and Sreesanth/Munaf Patel will be opening and are not as bad. Kumble, Harbhajan and Sachin - Sehwag can bowl many spin overs between them. That leaves one guy extra. He can be employed as a strike bowler - Irfan/Sreesanth or Dinesh Kaarthick as the 11th guy. Irfan can bat as well.
It is a very powerful batting line-up, and make take a beating on their bowling lineup.
Quality Fielders are in plenty - Yuvraj, Uthappa, Sachin, Kaarthick. Fielders like Munaf Patel will have to be hided on the field.
There are all winning chances for India. India will reach the semi-finals for sure.
India have enjoyed a great run in previous world cups as well.
In 1979 we were almost through to semis. In 1983 we won the cup. In 1987 we were in the semis. In 1996 we were in semis (because of indian crowd, match given to Sri Lankans). In 1999 we beat Pakistan (who earlier beat Australia). Then in 2003 we reached the finals.
Somethings which India need to work on to improve for the World Cup 2007 in the Caribbean -
Every Indian Player Has To Think About The Country Not Individual.
Play As A Team
Making of Master Game plan before every match
Play Mind games With Every Team
Good Net Practice Before Every Match
Relaxation Techniques
Good Fielding
Players Should Be Absolutely Fit Before Every Match

Yuvraj singh.
Because he is constantly performing well.Average(30) is sure from him.
He is an all rounder.He bowls well.When a bowler is injured he can be used without any hesitance.The partnership between Yuvraj and Kaif was very good against England and it has won the match for us.He gives very good partnership.
He comes 6th or 7th down.Normally by the time 40 -45 overs would have been over.At that time the score wont be too high.He is a score booster.Above 300 score depends only on him and a bit on Dhoni.
He is an excellent fielder.

i think sachin tendulkar will want to make a big impression and we could see some astonishing stuff from the little master, i think rahul dravid will also be key in keeping wickets intact and building partnerships by keeping the scoreboard ticking over with singles. and then to finish the match of with a withering display of power hitting look no further than mahendra singh dhoni. indias main asset is it's batting and that is where it needs to perform.

A tournament cannot be won by only one player. It is a team effort. however, Sachin tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Rahul dravid and virender Sehwag are key batsmen and Anil Kumble, harbhajan SDingh, Saheer Khan and ajit Agarkar are the key players and if they click, india can defenitely look for winning the world cup.

When Britain settled in India, they left some of their customs there. People in India have played Cricket for a long time, probably longer than other sports such as baseball or soccer. Cricket may be the most popular sport they have there.

I think Yuvraj and Dhoni............as its depends on how we chase down totals and if we need to win matches while chasing then its depends on yuvraj/dhoni's performance. I think every team will want to bat first in WI..............so chasing is important.
