"It does make a difference batting at No. 3 and 4. It is always a set number given to the batsman," he said.

"But the only thing is when Kohli walks in to bat at No. 4, what happens to Pujara? He has been doing the No. 3 role well and gets steady runs when an early wicket falls. Am not sure what he does at No. 5, a position entirely different from No. 3 and 4."

Viswanath also felt that Rahul should replace Rahane in the playing XI.

"Rahane has not been getting runs consistently. He can wait and should give way to Rahul, who has been playing really well," he said.

Half of the ex cricketer want dhawan to open ahead of rahul

Few were claiming Rohit sharma tour to SA will be turnaround to his career, one idiot said he shud bat at 3

Few has issues with a players tattoos 

N most of all no one has idea about records of these player at home n away 

Somehow i feel most of our ex-cricketer dnt watch cricket but are always their to give opinion

and people say ex-cricketers have more knowledge and sense of cricket than ones who have not played international cricket.

Overseas: Dhawan can score runs quickly but his defensive technique doesn't let him stay in long enough to make a big innings 

               Pujara can stay at the crease but can't score runs (let alone quickly)

 

What to do?

 

Dhawan played at 5 in Brisbane in 2014 and did exceptionally well, but very limited sample size.

It seems like Pujara greatest HTB has great fan following
