Injury-ridden India will miss top players

Injury-hit India are looking to draw inspiration from history when they take on arch-rivals Pakistan in their Champions Trophy opener in Centurion on Saturday.

Already missing star performers Virender Sehwag and pacer Zaheer Khan, India were dealt another massive blow when middle-order mainstay Yuvraj Singh was forced to return home after fracturing a finger on his right hand.

Yuvraj's absence has left a gaping hole in the Indian line-up and, in all probability, young Virat Kohli will take the dashing left-hander's place.
