Should Kohli rest for the last Test?

[Franco Vazquez]

Kohli needs a well deserved rest. Now that the series is lost, I think management should not play him in the next test as it's a dead rubber. It would be better to have another youngster gain the experience. Also if he rests now, they can play him in the Asia cup knockout stage. He can save India the embarrassment if they don't make it to the final

[Vilander]

lol India has everything to play for in the final test and win it.

^ series is done and dusted with. Last game is not even needed to play. Pack up and go home and prepare for Asia Cup.

[Franco Vazquez]

Rather than wasting time and energy on last Test, India should preserve their star players for Asia Cup

[speedheat]

Pandya kohli bumrah should be rested, Rahul and dhawan dropped. Focus should be on Asia cup now and a game against Pakistan. 

Victory against Pakistan will act as cure on this acrimonious series loss.

Why do we have a test after the series is decided? Let’s just have a few t 20 games for the fans..

If there is no Kohli, we will either unearth some great batting due to responsibilities or bundled out in two days and the get the torture over in two days. For me, both are fine under current  circumstances

Yes. Go shopping with Anushka.

Dont care about Asia cup. Would rather watch IPL. A win even in last match of the series will be satisfying. Will take 3-2 instead of  4-1 instead of  winning some shitty Asia Cup

No.

 

Big difference between 2 - 3  and  1- 4  in a test series.

 

I will play full strength team and go for a big win.

 

Finishing on a high would be good for the morale of the team.

Yes please. Fed up of his pathetic captaincy. Such great batsman and looks so clueless as captain. Rest him if we have to win last test.

[Tibarn]

Play and select to win the test. Test wins, even in dead rubbers matter.

[Khota]

If I am the coach the answer is yes. Give everyone a chance now.

Nahi yaar. Asia cup has been forced by ICC . Which other continent is playing a cup. Its Sharjah in disguise.

No Mishraji, nothing is more gratifying than thrashing Pakistan.

So we should start bilateral just to satisfy Indian fans. I dont want a game with Pakistan unless its absolutely mandatory.

If it was upto me, I would convince ICC to drop Pakistan and replace it with Nepal

No....opportunity to score a 100 and 700+ runs in the series. 

[mishra]

^ And Nepal in Asia cup insted of Pakistan will be trully satifying.

Well, which other continent has more than 1-2 premium team playing for it? Asia has 5 test playing nations. So makes sense why this tournament is still around.
