Good job! You want Dravid and Ganguly to slow down if wickets fall. The only thing Ganguly slow down nowadays is the over rate while fielding. And you didn't even choose Dravid in the team. Good luck India!

This is a good idea but the rest of the lineup still is unbalanced with Kaif and Yuvraj in the late order not gelling. My suggestion for Ahmedabad would be to move Dhoni down to the slog overs:
