India’s batting:
Though India and Pakistan teams may look as equal as far as batting and bowling is concerned , The Indians have a slightly upper hand against Pakistan because of their good batting line up.

Though their top order has not performed well recently, the performance of middle order and lower middle order has been extremely good in the recent test series held against Sri Lanka. The performance of lower middle order has been extremely good due to the presence of Yuvraj ,Ganguly, Dhoni and Irfan Pathan who have come up with some good scores against Srilanka may not augur well for Pakistan.

The presence of Sehwag may bolster the lineup as he was the man who has performed well against Pakistan in recent times with a triple century to his credit and his ability to gather runs at a brisk pace may set apart any bowling attack in the world.

In addition to this their middle order is one of the finest in the world which has Dravid & Sachin who can adapt to any kind of wicket and situation makes them a very good batting line up in the world. The fact that Sachin and Dravid has scored centuries in all test playing nations may illustrate the truth.

Not to mention about Laxman who likes the bowl to come on to bat and his ability to play some elegant and wristy strokes makes him a very special batsman on these kind of tracks. He may be also very hungry to perform in Pakistan as he had missed out on the last tour. He is also sort of player who can make a big impression in this series. Though Pakistan captain has said that he do not consider his team as favorites has eased some pressure on his team mates also there lies a hidden truth that
he himself considers Indians are favorites to win this series because of their good batting lineup and some above average bowling attack may be noted.
