In-form India take on Kenya today
10.41 IST   17th Oct 2001

By IndiaExpress Bureau

India plays Kenya at Port Elizabeth on Wednesday in the next match of the tri-series currently on in South Africa. India mauled Kenya by 10 wickets in their previous encounter.

Going by the current form of Kenyan team, Wednesday's match should be no more than a practice game for the Indians who are on a high after two convincing victories.

India may take this opportunity to give their reserve players the much needed match practice ahead of sterner battles against South Africa.

Ganguly has confirmed that Punjab all-rounder Reetinder Singh Sodhi and Railways paceman Harvinder Singh would be given a chance on October 17.

Except for Virender Sehwag, who will be rested after two good innings in the tournament, Ganguly did not say who else would be left out of Wednesday's match.

Yuvraj Singh, who is still to fully recover from a viral fever, and Javagal Srinath and Ajit Agarkar may also be kept out of the match.

With the trio of Ganguly, Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, all of whom are in good nick, playing on Wednesday, the Indians should not have much worry in their batting department. Sodhi is no novice with the bat and wicketkeeper deep Dasgupta has also shown good skill and temperament as a batsman.

The last two matches have proved the effectiveness of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh on these pitches. They are certain to play on Wednesday and would be the biggest danger to the Kenyans.
