Come the 24th, the jaded, tired visage of Indian cricket gets a facelift.

With the infusion of four fresh faces into the side.

To put names to the faces, we are talking about Tamil Nadu medium pacer Thiru Kumaran; Uttar Pradesh right-hand batsman and captain of the Under-19 World Cup winning team Mohammad Kaif; left arm slow bowler Murali Karthik of Railways; and right hand opening batsman of Mumbai Wasim Jaffer.

Cricket fans, fed up to the tonsils with non-performing, much-hyped seniors, look to them to infuse the much-needed dynamism into the team.

But what do they think? How do they feel, on the eve of breaking into the big time?

Let them tell you, in their own words. In this Real Audio presentation.
