Dhoni keen to identify playing XI

By The Assam Tribune

ADELAIDE, Fab 8 (PTI): As Indian team suffered yet another defeat, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is struggling to identify his playing XI for the high-voltage World Cup clash against arch-rivals Pakistan. India lost its first warm-up game against top contenders Australia by 106 runs today and now have one more game left against Afghanistan on Tuesday before the main tournament starts February 14.

�It has been difficult for us. When the batsmen click, the bowlers don�t and when the bowlers do, the batsmen don�t. We need to sort that out. What�s important is that we have one more game in our hand and before playing Pakistan it would be good to have the first XI in our hand,� Dhoni said at the post-match presentation ceremony. The Indian captain though said �there are plenty of positives in the game� for them.

Asked what he was looking at for identifying the final XI, Dhoni said there were quite a few things to watch.
