Before the series started

Dhoni wanted to try out most players He wanted to rest Sachin for atleast few games. So far Chawla, Tiwary and Raina are warming the bench. He would have been good if he had tried chawla in place bhajji. Now he has no choice but to play Best XI against in a must win game for us.

we need a super strong performance from sachin. People may have criticized him but he was our main batsmen against pakistan and UV. they both need to step up and deprive sri lanka of that other final spot.
