What changes will likely be made to the team after we lose the 2nd Test at Joburg except, Kohli replacing Vihari ?

[QuarantineTormentino]

I think the only other change I can think of is Saha replacing Pant. Saffas played 1719191D chess in the second test, they not only won the match but also ensured they will win the series by letting Hahane and Gujara score cheap fifties. Maximum return (series victory) for minimum risk (letting both of them score just a fifty each, hence ensuring all trimurthy members play the next game)

I dont know how many remember Saha's brainfade in Australia under perfect batting conditions.. that was almost same as Pant if not worse

no because Rahul was young and went back to domestics .Kohli is 33 and wont play domestics.

 

I agree Kohli should keep playing for now. Its because of other two that his failures get magnified as it hurts our chances.

The problem is being maginified as all three have been struggling.

Dravid is 100 % right, once you change from senior players you are done with him.Youngster have to wait for their turn.Glad coaches are not thinking like some geniuses here.

What if it is in the team's best interest to be "done with him"?  Whose best interests should we be prioritizing?  Surely not the senior players'.  And if anyone had expected boat-rocking from RSD, there's your answer.  I'll bet the first speech that any new coach of Indian team begins with:

 

Bhaiyon,

Expecting a different result by playing the same team combination is a recipe for disaster... It may click once in a while

Somebody should paste this mantra on Kohli's desk
