All eyes will be on captain Dhoni, who failed to score big against South Africa in home series last year.

For Dhoni, the key area that he would like to address is Suresh Raina's replacement as it is a given that one among Manish Pandey or Gurkeerat Singh Mann would be given that slot at No. 5.

Pandey has played a solitary ODI against Zimbabwe scoring 71 while Gurkeerat, who has been with the team throughout the home series against South Africa is yet to be blooded.

Mohammed Shami's return to the team will be a big boost. Warm-up matches will also test his fitness ahead of the series.

Shami was out of action since India's World Cup semi-final defeat to Australia in March last year. He suffered a knee injury.

Shikhar Dhawan, who has been woefully short of form and in some dire need of runs, seemed to be connecting well with the ball - something that would please the left-hander.

Dhawan managed just 126 runs in five matches against South Africa in the recent ODI series at an average of 25.20.

Ravichadran Ashwin had a wonderful 2015 with the ball and ended the year as world's best Test all-rounder. He will be keen to replicate his form in the shorter formats too.

Rohit Sharma may have had a barren run with the bat in Tests, but his form in the ODIs and T20s was simply superb. The newly-married batsman even became the second Indian to score a ton in T20 internationals.
