The batting order of the Indian cricket team is in for a major reshuffle with skipper Sourav Ganguly disclosing on Thursday that he has a definite plan involving a lot of players batting at a lot of different places. A day after being retained as captain of the national cricket team, Ganguly told a news agency in an interview here that the objective of the plan was to try and win consistently rather than show individual brilliance.
The stylish left-hander readily acknowledged that his team has been choking at the finishing line in one-day internationals and is keen to sort this out. I think we have got to sit and work out the formation of the eleven, placement of people at different places. Asked whether this would include master opening batsman Sachin Tendulkar batting down the order, the captain replied that he did not want to jump the gun and name anybody. It is basically for the team`s sake. The whole world knows where our problem lies.
