If the Indian team want to win the world cup next year, what players and playing style they need to adopt?

sorry raj. i love india as much as u do but being realistic if they get even a 100 sachin tendulkars or rahul dravids they won't be able to win it. i feel pained to say that we indians just do not have in our genes to be winners in any field ( feeling very insulted) but can't help this is how we are and we should learn to live as it is.

Right now he is in South Africa. But he is with Indian Team. I think he will have to review his strategy for the world cup.

Well there's obviously some bias here.\n\nSo far 20 out of 25 people have picked India, with 3 maybes and 2 nos.\n\nSo does this mean we should all go down and put our hard earned money on them.  I don't see how you can be so confident.\n\nYou gotta win the World Cup, it's not just given to you.\n\nYou need to have the players to do it.  Having some good players will win you some games but not the whole tournament.\n\nWhat makes all of you think you can get past Australia, Sth Africa or even England.  \n\nHow about batting lets see the latest rankings.\n1   Adam Gilchrist  AUS   \n2   Mahendra Dhoni  IND   \n3   Ricky Ponting  AUS   \n4   Andrew Symonds  AUS   \n5   Mike Hussey  AUS  \n\nOuch - 4 out of the top 5 - in the World.\n\nBowling\n\n1  Shaun Pollock  SA  858  \n2  Irfan Pathan  IND  765  \n3  Shane Bond  NZ  762  \n4  Glenn McGrath  AUS  756  \n5  Daniel Vettori  NZ  750  \n6  Brett Lee  AUS  732  \n7  Nathan Bracken  AUS  723  \n8  Muttiah Muralitharan  SL  701  \n9  Chaminda Vaas  SL  693  \n10  Harbhajan Singh  IND  690  \n\nNot many Indians here either.\n\nIndia winning the world cup is Wishful thinking.

If they perform to their potential and ability, they are defenitely going to be assets to Indian Team.  Unfortunately they are not doing justice to their potential.  One can see many youngsters coming to Indian Team in the near future before team for the world cup is selected.

No one alone can take the thophy for their team.. u can say this about a match but not for a whole series.. for winning the world cup or any other series the team should have to play as a team unit .. from 11 players 1 or 2 players always make a difference in team winning.. but not a particular one in all matches :D

It is impossible by the captainship of Rahul & coaching of Greg chapell. If Ganguly is the captain it may be possible.\nAt least they will go to the semi-final or final.\nThe team will be for world cup 2007:-\n1.V.shewag\n2.S.Tendulkar\n3.R.dravid(V.C)\n4.S.Ganguly(C)\n5.Y.Singh\n6.M.Kaif\n7.M.dhoni(w)\n8.I.Pathan\n9.H.Singh\n10.Z.Khan\n11.A.kumble\n12.A.Agarkar\n13.V.V.S Laxman    \n14.M.Patel\n15.A.Nehera\n16.S.Raina

WE CANT POINT OUT A SINGLE PERSON LIKE THAT.\n\nTHAT MUST BE A TEAM WORK.\n\nIRFAN AND HIS NEW BALL PARTNER SHOULD CREATE THE INITIAL BREAK-THROUGH.\n\nSPINNERS SHOULD CONTAIN THE MIDDLE ORDER.\n\nFIELDERS SHOULD BAG THE HARD CATCHES.\n\nOPENERS OF INDIA SHOULD GIVE THE STRONG BASEMENT.\n\nRAHUL SHOULD ANCHOR HIS INNINGS ALMOST TILL THE FINAL WICKET.\n\nDHONI AND YUVRAJ SHOULD SMASH THE TIRED BOWLERS.\n\nTOSS,WEATHER AND LUCK SHOULD FAVOUR INDIA.\n\nA BIG TASK AHEAD.

----------------\nODI World XI\n----------------\n1.  Adam Gilchrist\n2.  Sachin Tendulkar\n3.  Stephen Fleming (c)\n4.  Rahul Dravid\n5.  Michael Hussey\n6.  MS Dhoni (wk)\n7.  Andrew Flintoff\n8.  Irfan Pathan\n9.  Shane Warne\n10. Shane Bond\n11. Glenn McGrath\n\n-----------------\nTest World XI\n-----------------\n1.  Matthew Hayden\n2.  Michael Hussey\n3.  Ricky Ponting\n4.  Michael Vaughan\n5.  Rahul Dravid (c)\n6.  Andrew Flintoff\n7.  Adam Gilchrist (wk)\n8.  Shane Warne\n9.  Shane Bond\n10. Makhaya Ntini\n11. Glenn McGrath\n\nIt should be evident from the Super Series that players shouldn't just be picked on star-value, but also grit, mental strength, consistency, and current form.\n\nODI team: It has 5 specialtist bowlers, besides Tendulkar and Hussey can bowl part-time if neeed. Flintoff and Pathan also add depth to the batting line-up. I have included both Dhoni and Gilchrist because they are just too good to be left out. Dhoni's current batting form is far better than stars like Lara and Inzamam. Besides, he's young and at his prime.\n\nTest team: I have included 5 specialist bowlers: McGrath, Ntini, Bond, Flintoff, and Warne. The batting lineup is quite strong with Gilchrist batting at number 7. \n\nStardom is not the criteria for selection here. The players are selected on the basis of their temprament, commitment, consistency, teamwork, and current form: something that separates good teams from the others.
