SRT100 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Vijay Rahul Pujara Kohli Rahane Nair Saha Kuldeep Jaddu Jayant Yadav Ashwin is injured and needs to go must only play fit and firing players. I would drop Ishant on the basis that India needs to play to their strength which is spin. I think Kuldeep and Jayant also strengthen the batting order considerably too. Link to comment
flat_wicket_bully Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Vijay Rahul Pujara Kohli Rahane Nair Saha Ashiwn Jaddu Bhuvi Yadav Bhuvi will come in for Ishant. Dharamshala should assist swing bowlers and thats where bhuvi comes in. OpeningBatsman 1 Link to comment
G_B_ Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If shami is there then IMO play him if not I would like to accommodate Jayant. Link to comment

Lannister Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Kuldeep, Jadeja, Yadav and (definitely not Ishant Sharma). Four bowlers will be enough if its a bowler friendly wicket. Link to comment

sensible-indian Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 This Dharmashala pitch having grass talk is making things complicated. Regardless of Aussie batting against swing, you wouldn't want to face them on a green track for a decider. If we do have a pace track, there will be a dilemma of whether to pick 2 pacers or 3 pacers. If we pick 3 pacers, should we go with 4 bowlers or 5 bowlers. If we go with 4 bowlers, obviously Ashwin gets dropped which won't be a problem if we win. But if we lose, the backlash may be huge so team will be confused on what to do. Damn. Link to comment
SRT100 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 INDIA WILL LOSE THE SERIES IF THERE IS GRASS ON THIS PITCH. Make no mistake Australia has a far far superior pace bowling line up importantly also they have the quality of batsmen that can handle those conditions, India do not. Australia to win the series and the humiliation for India, 2-1. Link to comment

"What he needs is rest. That's the diagnosis." Edited March 23, 2017 by sensible-indian Link to comment

It was on the back of my mind in the last two series. Against New Zealand and England I could perform only 60-70 per cent of my potential. I'm trying to get better and put more strength on my body. Sports Hernia is something that can't be managed easily. It's been a big challenge for me. It takes a lot of time to warm up these days," Ashwin said.

So clearly it has started affecting him. He needs to go through surgery to recover completely. Edited March 23, 2017 by Forever Indian Link to comment

ShebbySB Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Rahul Vijay Pujara Kohli Rahane Saha(Wk) Ashwin Jadeja BK Shami Umesh This should be an ideal XI for the last test...I don't think the pitch will be grassy but it'll have good carry and some help for the seamers and get flatter in the 3rd and 4th day. beetle 1 Link to comment
