Which, out of these, is the best batting lineup?

[Gambit]

2003 WORLD CUP Tendulkar Sehwag Ganguly Dravid Yuvraj Kaif Mongia Lineup in 2007 Ganguly Tendulkar Gambhir Yuvraj Dravid Dhoni Uthappa Post CB series and potentially the 2011 WORLD CUP Lineup Sehwag Gambhir Raina Yuvraj Dhoni Sharma Pathan

[Sachinism]

Current, minus Rohit and add Sachin though i'd love to see Rohit cement his place in the future

[Yuvraj4Captaincy]

Rohit Sharma acc to me should be replaced. Rest looks good.

[Guest Hiten.]

To me, WC 2007 squad had the best batting line up. But then again it proved out to be 'paper' tigers. I seriously had high hopes with our batsmen but I was crashed back to earth in no time.

[Cricketics]

all are good gambo, but ur 2nd line up is missing sehwag, which makes it look little ordinary. Sehwag is a must

[Mr. Wicket]

All 3 lineups are missing VVS. Flawed poll. Signed, Rohan

[SachDan]

No Indian batting line up is the best with out God.

The 2005/06 batting lineup was pretty good. 18 consecutive chases, remember ? That batting lineup looked like this; Sehwag, Tendulkar, Pathan, Yuvraj, Dravid, Dhoni, Raina But the 2002/03 is definitely the best of the lot. Sehwag was in murderous form, Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid were all as consistent as ever and then you had the fearless young guns Yuvraj and Kaif down the order. It was an awesome batting lineup until it fell apart after the '04 Pakistan tour.

[SachDan]

As for the future,it looks great.....but still sruggling to come to terms with a team sans God.

yup gotta add sachin to 3rd line up.. all those other batsmen will be tested in swinging and pacey conditions.. only SRT can stand his ground in trying conditions..

I'll be blasphemous and opt for the last option, with the reasoning being that if those core seven are definites in the lineup, in the face of pressure from other Indian probables, then they'll be just as good as the 2003 squad. Mongia and Kaif do spoil it for 2003, don't they?

[SachDan]

I think most are going ga-ga over this line up without God is simply coz of the fact that next world cup is in the sub continent.... we have a lot of tours before that so God is must.

to an extent true but neither do we see such pitches nor does world cricket has bowlers to exploit such conditions. However if we do come across such a pitch and our batting lineup does struggle we have some good fast bowlers. Zaheer, RP, Sreesanth with Ishant, Praveen, Pathan may not be able to run through a line up but on favorable wickets any combination of above 6 can make most current batting line ups struggle.

Mongia i understand why kaif. Our WC 03 win over pak which most of us Indian fans keep harping about would not have come had kaif not take a those body blows.

I was making point especially to compete against Ozzies.. and south africa to some extent.. otherwise SRT-Less team is good enough for others..

yes i know that but give this ODI team 6 more months and i feel this team will be ready for life-after-sachin. Noone can replace sachin but a combination of batsman with good fast bowler should be able to fill that gap.

Dhoni's DEVILS will prove you wrong. :hatsoff:

[Guest dada_rocks]

difference between fought bravely and won more often than not is sehwag's whirlwind inning so yes he has to be common theme in all the batting line-up
