For instance Laxman in & against AUS, Sehwag in AUS, Sourav in ENG, Chandepaul against India etc etc Link to comment

Then what is the problem? Link to comment

Then what is the problem? that is less than 40 so he is not a long term option if he cannot perform consistently .... but if he is in good form currently as seen in county, he can be an option esp. w/ Rahul struggling. But since Agarwal is in the squad now, he is likely to get a shot (and that is a good option too) PS may be play Vijay, Rahul and Agarwal in practise games to see who can partner Shaw Edited October 19, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

SUMO Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Had Kl rahul done well I would have taken mayank as 3rd opener. But now murali vijay should be 3rd opener because if the openers fails again we should have an experienced backup. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
mishra Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Shaw and Rahul. Its done and dusted. I wont drop Shaw no matter what. Even if we have to replace Rahul, We dont need to bring in prooven failures like Dhawan and Vijay. Link to comment
