How did Dhawan replace Vijay in the team even though the latter was match fit?

Pretty simple really. Kohli thinks Dhawan is better than Vijay, which he is not - in tests. His selections have been baffling, at least in tests.

Kohli wanted cash in as much aspossible with Shikars form. But it will hurt India overseas.

yes, but not when he is just coming back from injury. you dont know how his form is.

Rkt there is no place to hide here. Puj and Vijay can not be dropped they are the ones who make least amount of mistakes in say their first 100 deliveries faced pace and spin. In vijays case pace as he does make mistakes against spin as he does not respect spin. Dhawan can be a no 5 or 6. Rahul is the other opener. Dhawan can not face opening bowling he simply has not shown thw game for it. 

 

It crucial to let opening bowler do their thing first hour and see it off. Both edges will be in play not time to score..lol we saw what dhawan did in green overcast track in kolkata same thing will happen in wanderers.

No.  He does not think like that. If that was the case, Dhawan would not have been dropped in the first place.

Was he dropped? 

 

I thought he had some personal commitment....

OPs hatred continues...no words for Rahul's failure but just point fingure towards Dhawan.

Reasons:

1) Rahul is from Karnataka (OPs home state)

2) Dhawan is a northy whom OP dislike.

Pathetic discrimination if you ask me

He already played 3 ranji games before the last game and scored 140 in the game against odissa played few days prior to the 1st test

What assessment was done by the team management benching vijay 

 

Nair was dropped after 300 the next test series giving the logic that regular who missed out due to injury will have 1st preference. 

 

Why a different parameter

He has dropped Pujara for Rohit too once, so it's not a one off.

In australia, by that time pujara had many failures and some change was to happen

So the change was ok but making rohit bat at 3 was a stupid idea.......even though he scored a bit of runs but still we all knew rohit's game

here my another problem with kohli, he tries something but doesnt stick with it for long. It was his idea to have Rohit at 3 and have the sehwag impact no matter how stupid ur idea atleast back coz u didnt think trying it that was a stupid idea. Also same with rahul .....one game at 4 only

Dhawan is buddy of Kohli, so thats why he will sneak in unless Vijay and KL are performing 135%.

 

What about Rohit Sharma? This guy is going to get exposed so badly on tough tracks.

Kohli likes KL more than anyone.

Nope. Like I said in before Dhawan was picked in the 1st match because he is in a form of his lifetime.

KL Rahul's place in tests is safe. Kohli won't drop him.

Kohli prefers batsmen who score faster just like he prefers bowlers who bowl faster. It is obvious to see. That is why he will always prefer Rahul and Dhawan over Vijay and Pujara. Pujara's form has made him undroppable but do people remember when he was out of the team for Rohit?

Way to exaggerate. Pujara was dropped for just few tests in one instance and not regularly and that was a mistake which he and management realized and it has never happened again. Way to exaggerate.

 

By your statement, Dhoni should have never played in t20 for India under Kohli as he plays very slow now.

Kohli does not have the balls to drop Dhoni. But there is no doubt he prefers batsmen who score faster. Pujara had to prove himself big time, if he had made half the runs he did, he would have been dropped.

He might prefer faster to score people is a different thing but doesn’t mean he will drop Pujara now. Pujara is currently 100 some not out and has played about 330 balls but Kohli understands thats his game. Like I said, that was a move Kohli tried and realized its not tthe right move and he changed it back.

Dhawan is a damn good playerDhawan is a very good player. If you cannot see that he is better than Vijay than you need to clean your glasses. The only problem I see with Dhawans game is that he is prone to unforced errors (borrowed the term from tennis). If there is a real coach that can be sorted out. Vijay is a good player too but I will put dhawan over him.

HE even shared his thoughts about Pujara's scoring rate.

Dhawan makes starts count.. Vijay gets out... Otherwise Vijay is a more solid opener

I don't think so . You are only as good as your last innings and if kl does not get a Big hundred it will be VJ and Dhawan opening in SA
