The players that struggled and have still performed abroad I am not concerned about them as they are still capable of handling the moving ball. They are proven. The conditions in India doesnt make a difference as it dors when we play outside hence no matter even if you score 100 tons in India, you still do not assure you have the ability to do outside like Kohli has. Its more like a home track bully. 

test are played in all conditions, one condition is not superior or inferior to other. So yeah KL good in india , poor so far in England. Cant read more than that he needs to drop out of opening slot and work on his game. We can agree to disagree.  not interested in continuing this, responding out of courtesy.

No. Drop him, let him go back to domestic and sort his technique.

He is an opener. Team management have already messed up with his technique batting him in where ever they want. But still no openers did well in this series, that should tell you how hard it is to bat in these conditions. It's upto team management that if they want to retain a talent like him or if they want to go back to scrappers like Dhawan and many more we find in domestics.

Let him drop from last test,its good for him also.we can't disturb our full batting position for Rahul.

Yep, the whole batting lineup cannot be shuffled to adjust one totally out of form player.

Thanks for your discussions, i was thinking we have a really good slip catcher in him and while the others improve in that field we can bat him at 5 against the older ball.

 

but maybe it is best if he works on his game and comes back.

No. Leave him in the dressing room where he can pose for pics as a model for clothes, beard oil etc.

He is a feast or famine type of player..should do well in tests against Windies and Aussies.
