KL should not open, I don't think he will survive even if he looks better than our openers at this stage.

He has an outside chance of having a very good no5 for 5-6 years, so if he's picked it should be only at 5 both in ODI and Tests 

yup he shudnt open

as if our other options are expert openers,Rahul has a better chance of surviving than any other choice we have.

Really liked KL till now, Middle order wud suit him. 

He should be at #5 minimum after Kohli. #6 is meaningless.

He hasnt played red ball for long time and this was after 2 yrs, playing new ball in england is diff game. If he is doing well at a positon why to change it

He is a stroke player and its best they face a bit of an old ball

yea one has to be dropped or Che has to be send top open

Can happen, as TM has been sending out a mssg that pujara position is in danger

[Lone Wolf]

Something like this

Rohit

Mayank

Rahane

Kohli 

Pant

Rahul

Ash

Shardul

Siraj

Shami

Bumrah 

[vvvslaxman]

Srikkanth, Sehwag, Tendulkar (in early days) had this kind of skill to go after bowling from the word go.  Current lot takes time. Roy is bit like Sehwag in that regard. Producing big overs early on.

Yes actually in the last test he played against England he scored 149

Indeed, just blindly going by stats is incorrect. I've never seen Vihari score fluently ever. 

To be fair he was uber fluent in

indias tour of windies.. he was really good in that.. scored a 100 n 90 odd..

[Ankit_sharma03]

 

[express bowling]

Rahul played really well.

 

Should play in the middle order and should not open.

[Sandeep99]

If Rahul ends up opening - that would be classic clown thinking. Rahul needs to play at 5/6!

So really we can expect Rahul to open the batting then in the first test.

If openers fail they should push pujara to open & play rahane at 3, rahul at 5.

ek opener waise hi injured ho chuka hai, might as well open with pujara only. Mayank will struggle anyways.
