Rahul, Pandya and Pandey benched for Rayudu, Karthik and Jadhav

[SK_IH]

I thought this deserved a separate thread 

[UrmiSinhaRay]

Rohit is preserving the tired players for Pak match

Pandya is understandable as his workload needs to be managed but rahul shud play a lot of games now 

[diga]

Dad's army... atleast 1 youngster (in 20s) has to play. You need fresh legs for fielding in the desert heat.  

[tweaker]

By this logic, Dhawan should have been rested

[Khota]

I have no problem with giving opportunity to as many people as possible as long as the process is fair. In the end you win based on your bench not your starting 11.

[SecondSlip]

Let’s hope that Rahul, Pandey and Pandya play tomorrow against Pakistan 

[The Dark Horse]

Either way a thread would have been opened..

[gattaca]

They say rohit plays youngsters lol.

Dhawan rested for the entire england test tour.  

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Pandey doesn't deserve to play over any of those three.

Rohit has become fatter to make Kedar and Raduyu feel comfortable.

 

And this senior team is missing Amit Mishra.

Hallmarks of great leadership. Rohit as a captain will go a long way 

[Rasgulla]

Its HK they are playing against.. Even sachin would come out of retirement

How will you build the bench if you dont give an opportunity to youngsters against weak teams... cant expect them to come & perform against strong teams

[jusarrived]

Haha why would let youngsters score some easy runs against minnows ?

No he was resting all england tour doing nothing. If Dhawan plays first match directly tomorrow then he has been out of form and not much practice in these conditions. For Rahul he played good knock in last innings. Pandya and Bumrah will have to bowl so twice in two day is not possible after long england tour. I feel selections are totally right.
