If he survives the early overs, the Indian bowlers could be in for more tough times. <img src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9103/jayasuriyavsindiawp4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Gautam Gambhir He has been consistency personified in ODIs this year, and his excellence against spin makes him a key batsman for India against an attack featuring Muralitharan and Mendis. <img src="http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/2904/gambhirzb4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The battle of the openers: Gambhir and Sehwag have added 319 runs for the first wicket in four innings at an average partnership of 79.75 and a rate of 8.14 runs per over; Jayasuriya and Sangakkara have averaged 88.75 per partnership at seven runs per over. The new-ball bowlers from both teams clearly have their work cut out. Murali v Yuvraj: Yuvraj has often struggled against slow bowlers at the start of his innings, and if he bats at No. 5, there's a good chance that he'll be confronted by Murali as soon as he comes in.</blockquote>
