Would Vihari have got chance if not for the fallout between Kohli and Rohit?

I was pissed when I saw Rohit's name in the test squad for west Indies tour. I thought it would have been a rinse and repeat for the Australian tour and countless tours before where Rohit would get selected for the couple of years before his inevitable failure will lead to his dropping. This time we were playing only two tests so I thought no new batsman would get chance.

 

I was surprised when Vihari was picked ahead of him and so happy that he scored. But would he have got the chance in the playing 11 if everything was right between Kohli and Sharma?

 

What do you guys think? Is nepotism and favouritism holding us back from achieving our true potential?

Well, Rohit is now seen as our future Test Opener

Shastri and selectors only say what Kohli want

 So kohli has given permission to Prasad to talk about rohit in tests. It might be a way of kohli offering an olive branch to rohit

I want Rohit to open in England, South Africa, and Australia. No matter what happens, how much he scores, just let him open. I will make a great dance video at the end of all those tours.
