What if Rohit replaces Rahane in first test

[maniac]

Rohit over Pandya but Rahane doesn’t deserve to be dropped atleast not yet.

Both Dhawan and Rohit will win us atleast 1 test with their blistering run a ball knock that will take the Africans by surprise.

Yea right. Lets see if they can even bat decently first.

[maniac]

Rahane has been in  terrible form over the last year in Tests to be honest.

This is going to be a blessing in disguise, Rahane is in terrible form and a walking wicket, with rohit we still have a hope that if we plays the initial 30 odd deliveries, he has the batting to take the game away from the proteas.

[Pollack]

According to cricbuzz:

Probable x11:

Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan/KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami

^ Bowling looks weak.

Holy ****, Kohli just went nuts. Rahane is done and dusted now.

You can't drop player when your wife is friend's with his wife. Wife Club is going to rule Indian cricket in coming year.

Has rahane been playing well last 6 months ?

[chewy]

Lol,

cant believe Rahane has been dropped

[chewy]

In that replaced by noodles and not Lokesh

[kira]

Good move

[jusarrived]

All we need is an aggressive No3  to replace Pujara now , this is a team which can win a test in a session .

No hes not and we all know hes struggled against spin , but timing of dropping him is really bad . He has an awesome record in SA , not just overseas and has a reputation of being good away ..why not give him an opportunity to redeem himself . Hes been regular in our LOI sides and cant find a spot in a test team , isnt that funny ? 

I really hope Rohit does well today , cos we will definately need that ..but I would never pick him over Rahane for an overseas test .
