The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee announced the team of 15, including 4 proper batters, 2 wicketkeepers, 4 allrounders, 2 wrist spinners and three spinners. A majority of experts have called it a balanced side; given the variety it has. But on the other hand, some high of profile figures from the squad have endured poorly low scores in their IPL outings immediately after the announcement was made.
