[King Tendulkar]

Raul 

vijay

pujara

kohli

rahane

saha

pandya

ashwin

bk

shami

bumrah

 

though maybe need to keep one of Rohit/Dhawan . As loath to make 2 changes . As whole team had a warm up game so maybe need to stick with them ? As 2 new guys going to be under cooked

Simple really, Dhawan and Rohit out

any standby batsmen will do a better job, 

heck Parthiv Patel is a cut above Dhawan

[Jimmy Cliff]

Dhawan will play. Rahane will come in for Rohit or Ashwin.

[kira]

Brosh!t out, Rahane in

Rahul in, either of vijay/dhawan out

[Sooda]

Go with OP,

 

Rohit and Dhawan out Rahane and Rahul in

[Tridibans_16]

Can we cross 100? #winninghearts

[King Tendulkar]

Listen I would not have picked Dhawan and Rohit . Issue is they played in test . Had the warm up game . So to change both ?? As rahane and Raul will enter second test massively under cooked . This is problem . That’s why maybe only one change maybe advisable 

[Laaloo]

Pretty basic changes only the team mgmt let nepotism get in the way

[vishalvirsingh]

Ashwin looking solid

Even if they got out of bed and made their way onto the pitch, they would have been a net positive over dhawan

[vishalvirsingh]

Rohit should be replaced by rahul.

No other change.

I will play Rahane for sure as lower order needs to be tightened but I think Rahul has to come now or else it will be too late.

 

I am not expecting Rahul to fire but then Dhawan and Vijay both sucked big time.

 

I mean some of the shots which Vijay played today, I did not expect that to come down the track. The guy has regressed. It’s sad because he was totally different bat last time around.

 

Dhawan -  we knew what we were going to get out of him but Vijay has been terrible. Coming down the track like Dhoni. Wtf was that. 

[BeautifulGame]

Likely change will be Rahul in for Vijay.

 

Team will remain the same otherwise.

[beetle]

Deficit below 100.

[The Realist]

Send SOS to Dinesh Karthik and Manish Pandey...

[Brainfade]

It's time for a complete overhaul:

 

Shaw

Agarwal

Easwaran

Pujara (c)

Iyer

Rana

Pant (wk and vc)

Sundar

Saini

Gurbani

Mithun (for experience and old-times sakes)

 

12th man:  Pankaj Singh

 

 

 

[Trichromatic]

My prediction: Kohli will drop Vijay and bring Rahul in the team.

 

Rest of the team will remain same

Cannot afford to have anything other than a proper batsman at no 6
