The T20 World Cup is just around the corner and the team management must be sweating on who to pick and who to leave out.

In the first T20I of the five-match series against West Indies, Karthik showed what he is made of, scoring 41 runs off just 19 balls, helping India post 190 runs on the board.
In the last season, which was Muzumdar's first as Mumbai coach, the domestic giants crashed out in the league stage of both the limited over tournaments - the T20 Mushtaq Ali Trophy and 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy - but bounced back to reach the Ranji Trophy final, where they lost to Madhya Pradesh by six wickets at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
