Experiment time for Team India

Friday, April 7, 2006, 23:36 [IST]

Guwahati, Apr 7 (UNI) With skipper Rahul Dravid rested, and Virender Sehwag all set to captain the next two ties, Team India is all set to make some experiments.

According to reliable sources, Robin Uthappa could get his debut cap for the senior side. If Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has played in all the matches so far is rested, then a newkeeper could come in.

R P Singh is all set to make a return to the side, while V R V Singh is also in the run. It is still debatable who will get the nod, but R P Singh has a definite edge.

Yuvraj Singh, who will be the vice-captain of the side will have bears the pressure in the middle order with Mohammed Kaif not firing. In all, some good experiments are in store for the dead rubber that has seen India clinch the seven match ODI series 4-0. The fifth ODI is scheduled here on April 9.
