I reallly like patel at 3 . Can see him scoring runs . Loves ball coming on as little man no power lol plays more square of the wicket. Perfect 

 

Spinnng tracks and slower tracks struggles a bit 

He'll be a walking wkt at #3 .scoring against the new ball in India is different from scoring in saf against these world class pacers ,he might score a 20 odd but that'll be most likely his ceiling point.but with the old ball,pappu can make some dents along with pandya

Seriously, are we dropping Saha for someone who would at max make 20-30 odd runs and scarily drop a catch or miss a stumping?

Looks like Saha and Bhuvi both will be dropped

i think Saha drop is justified as his batting looked bad in both the innings and the replacement Parthiv is so good as a batsman that he can be the highest run getter in the second test for india . 

he has been scoring big in domestic cricket and is under the knack of playing long innings..i think he will get a chance and he may score a 50 to 75 runs in at least one innings- 

i would not have expect more than 16 runs from SAHA in two innings @ an average of 8 runs ...lets see how much Saha scores.

i think team management is planning to ask him to open.

i think ashwin may also be dropped.

murli

kl rahul

kohli

rohit sharma

Shami is not inspiring any confidence,he doesn't looks fit.Perhaps Ishant is played in place of Shami
