No Yuvi now
Yesterday, star batsman Yuvraj Singh was ruled out of the Champions Trophy with a finger fracture. This weakens India's batting line-up a great deal.

Gautam worry
A groin injury kept Gautam Gambhir out of the tri-series in Sri Lanka. Though Gambhir insists he is fit, he will be a touch rusty for the Pak game

Viru loss
Virender Sehwag's shoulder injury suffered before the World T20 has not yet healed. Opposition bowlers are rejoicing but it has left MSD sulking

Zaheer void
With Zaheer Khan out through a shoulder injury, India's pace attack looks feeble. Nehra is experienced but not in great touch. Big hole this!

Afridi chat
Shahid Afridi has talked India down. He has spoken about India's weakness against the short ball apart from India's lack of edge in SA.
