WHAT THE RATINGS MEAN
10 - out of this world
9 - brilliant
8 - very good
7 - good
6 - average
5 - below par
4 - poor
3 - dismal
India thrashed England 5-1 in the one-day series, and did so without star batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

With the World Cup under 12 months away, BBC Sport assesses who has staked a claim to a regular place in the team.



_________________________________________________

Rahul Dravid (captain, five games): 7

While some doubters still push the captaincy claims of Sourav Ganguly, Dravid has done nothing to suggest that he is not the best man for the job. Highly regarded by his young team and remains the rock around which the cavalier stroke-players can flourish.



_________________________________________________

Gautam Gambhir: 5 (two games)

Only two matches for the left-handed opener and a top score of 29 will not have convinced the selectors, particularly in view of Robin Uthappa's impressive debut.



_________________________________________________
Virender Sehwag: 4 (five games)

Unable to pass 26 and his form will be a concern for the selectors. Having led the side in the one match India lost, Sehwag clearly expected another chance to regain form in the final match but was left out.


_________________________________________________

Yuvraj Singh: 8 (six games)

Having been dismissed for only one in the first match, Yuvraj went on to hit a century and an unbeaten 63, averaging 47 overall to claim the Man-of-the-Series award. Also restricted England with six wickets with his slow left-armers in the key middle-of-the-innings phases.



_________________________________________________

Mohammad Kaif: 3 (five games)

Quite why Kaif was not left out until the final match is perplexing, given four scores of five or under, including two ducks, and the fact that he offers nothing with the ball.



_________________________________________________

Suresh Raina: 8 (six games)

India's latest batting sensation confirmed his suitability for the one-day game as well as the Tests, failing only once and averaging 48 with three fifties.



_________________________________________________

Irfan Pathan: 7 (five games)

Troubled the England batsmen at the top of the order with some dangerous late swing, claiming 11 wickets. Also weighed in with useful cameos full of boundaries when promoted to number three.



_________________________________________________
MS Dhoni: 8 (five games)

The crowd hero continued to sparkle with an electrifying 96 from 106 balls in the penultimate match when elevated to opener. Always made a contribution even when swinging the bat late in the innings; also confident behind the stumps.


_________________________________________________

Harbhajan Singh: 8 (five games)

The pick of the bowlers with 12 wickets at less than four runs per over. Career-best 5-31 turned the crucial opening match when England seemed certain to win, and also contributed a key 37 in that match, one of only two innings he played.



_________________________________________________

RP Singh: 4 (three matches)

One area of concern for the India selectors may be the back-up seam department. RP was one of several who failed to impress, failing to take a wicket in his 19 overs and leaking six-and-a-half per over.



_________________________________________________

Sri Sreesanth: 7 (four matches)

The spirited paceman regularly unsettled the batsmen in a strong partnership with Pathan, and although an economy rate of over six will need to be lowered his ability to take important wickets at vital moments make him a key ingredient in the team.



_________________________________________________

Ramesh Powar: 7 (six matches)

A colourful character with his face paint and red sunglasses, he overcame some intense criticism of his portly frame with some intelligent spin bowling to stifle the batsmen in mid-innings. Also proved his batting worth with an attacking fifty.



_________________________________________________

Venugopal Rao: 4 (two matches)

Difficult to condemn a man who has been given only one opportunity, but it is hard to see Rao winning a place in the first choice India middle order when everyone is available.



_________________________________________________

VRV Singh: 3 (two matches)

On this evidence the gangly paceman will need the entire India pace bowling contingent to be absent if he is to claim a World Cup spot. Pummelled for 26 in one over by Kevin Pietersen, he failed to take a wicket and his 12 overs cost a mammoth 105 runs.



_________________________________________________

Robin Uthappa: 7 (one match)

Made the most of his one chance with a composed 86, the highest score by an India one-day debutant, and played in an impressively correct fashion before a bout of cramp led to his bizarre run out.



_________________________________________________

Munaf Patel: 4 (two matches)

A star of the Test series with his destructive inswinging yorkers, Patel was given only two matches and failed to take a wicket in either, sending down 15 overs at over five per over. He will surely have a role to play in future one-day line-ups, however.



_________________________________________________

Ajit Agarkar: 6 (two matches)

Limited opportunity for the seamer but he played a useful role in polishing off the England tail in the third match and is likely to remain in contention for a place in the World Cup squad.



_________________________________________________

Dinesh Karthik: 6 (one match)

Unfortunately for the young wicketkeeper his international appearances are likely to be limited as a result of Dhoni's emergence. Took an outstanding catch when Dhoni was rested for the final match to show he can be a useful deputy.

Re: ICC ODI Ranking of Indian players

Yuvraj tops the report card




1. Yuvraj Singh: Fantastic all-round performance. Emerged as a very mature cricketer; batted well; hit the only century of the series; took some stunning catches and bowled with guile, got Kevin Pietersen thrice. An asset to the side.

2. Irfan Pathan: His early breakthroughs hit the opposition hard. Provided momentum and stability to the batting.

3. Rahul Dravid: Emerged a confident man at the helm. Decision to open highlighted his leadership qualities; got the best out of the young players.

4. Suresh Raina: Came of age as a one-day player. Played the winning role in one match and guided in two more. Played crucial knocks and was brilliant in the field.

5. Ramesh Powar: Bowled better than expected; batted better than expected. Added to the options in bowling and proved an able replacement for Murali Kartik.

6. M.S. Dhoni: Did not get to bat higher up except once but showed maturity by batting according to the situation; competent behind the stumps; key man in the scheme of things.

7. Harbhajan Singh: Began with five wickets when under pressure. Bowled admirably. Looked a far more confident bowler than in Tests.

8. S. Sreesanth: Only the fourth Indian to take six wickets in a one-day match; made sound progress and impressed with his aggressive attitude; ability to take wickets on placid tracks a strong point.

9. Robin Uthappa: Brilliant debut to grab the opportunity and create selection problems; appears a long term prospect and should learn from the silly run out.

10. Dinesh Kaarthick: Played only one match but was outstanding behind the stumps. Took two superb catches and established himself as a proper replacement for Dhoni when required.

11. Ajit Agarkar: Very important as far as team management is concerned. Still the best exponent of reverse swing in India.

12. Venugopala Rao: Did not get to bat much but showed the right attitude by being involved all the time; can contribute in difficult situations and has the potential to serve long.

13. Virender Sehwag: Wasted good starts but bowled usefully when asked to. Enjoys immense faith of captain and coach.

14. Gautam Gambhir: His cumulative failures caught up with him; deserves a proper run.

15. Munaf Patel: Very good with the old ball but failed to reproduce Test form. Still a long way to go for him to be a regular.

16. R.P. Singh: Over-rated and suffered for being on bench for too long. Has the potential and needs to be persisted with but should be made to work harder and realize the importance of earning a place.

17. V.R.V. Singh: Looked out of depth and surely has a long way to go before he can establish himself. Strove on batting tracks and paid for experimenting at this stage.

18. Mohammad Kaif: Worst run by an Indian in one-day cricket. Lucky to keep his place and needs to make runs urgently. Fielding alone cannot be an asset.
