The opener should be Pant or Dhawan woth Rohit. No one else. If Pant doesn't open, then should bat later in the order but should be in the team.

No Rishabh Pant should.

Last 1 year stats for all openers from 8 traditional test teams vs the other 8 test teams (I didn't include stats against/by Bangladesh) Rohit and Rahane average 24 and Dhawan averages 6 (only 2 innings)
