LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 22: Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India hits out during day five of the 4th npower Test Match between England and India at The Kia Oval on August 22, 2011 in London, England.

India Squad:

Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashok Dinda, Pragyan Ojha, Ajinkya Rahane, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, M Vijay, Zaheer Khan.
