T20 World Cup record:
2007: Champions
2009: Super Eights
2010: Super Eights
Coach: Duncan Fletcher
India comes into the 2012 T20 World Cup under a bit of pressure to perform after not making it passed the Super Eight stage since it won the title in 2007.
Strengths: The Indian squad is chock-full of talented players with loads of T20 experience thanks to both the Indian Premier League and the number of T20 internationals India plays. Captain MS Dhoni is one of the best finishers in the game.
Weaknesses: There are questions over India's athleticism in the field, and the immense pressure to produce results, although nothing new for India, could weigh on the minds of the Indian team.
With the tournament in neighbouring Sri Lanka, India gets the advantage of playing in almost home conditions but without the extra pressure of actually being the home team. India are infamous slow starters in tournaments, which is something they need to avoid to go deep in 2012.
