1999 and 2003 world cupper Ajit Agarkar picks three of his most dangerous batsmen from the India and Pakistan teams to watch out for in today's world cup semi-final clash at Mohali

Virender Sehwag has to be on top of this short list because of the manner in which he plays. He not only almost finishes games, he also demoralises opponents if he stays around for 10 overs. With a strike rate of 100, he is effective against almost most teams. The couple of times he has hung around in this tournament, India have raced to a massive total.

Sachin Tendulkar does not hit the ball as long as some of the other guys, but he still scores at a strike rate between 90 and 100 which is not easy to do when you face the new ball. And he eventually gets to a hundred, which is phenomenal. Even if you see Sehwag belting the ball, you don't see a hundred as regularly as Sachin does. He is probably more determined, if one can say that, because he knows this is going to be his last World Cup and a World Cup win is not on his CV.
