Rohit Sharma is technically superior to kohli ,Who some times fall overs so is a candidate and he is still suspect against short ball as he genrally pulls of the front foot .He has done well in practice matches and wi series he did enough to start but if he fails for 2 tests wew have to look at rohit sharma.

Well Actually Ian Chappel is right here' date=' cannot fault him.[/quote'] +1

Kohli plays very loose around off stump and plays lot of indecisive shots there. He must be more tight and need to leave ball out side his zone.

[zep1706]

Kohli has earnrd his place. But if it was to me I would pick Rohit. Hope Kohli scores a lot of runs though.

Correct and on top of it his technique against the short pitch stuff is also not the most convincing.

[Sachin=GOD]

I've been saying this for a long time. Rohit is ready for Test cricket and should be in the Test side.

[Andrew Peter]

Kohli has to be the obvious choice here irrespective of what Chappell and others have to say . Already an established Odi Batsman , played decently in the last test against West Indies so he deserves a chance before anyone else . There is no need to give Sharma his debut against Australia in the first test itself without testing Kohli .

[G_B_]

to be fair to Ian Chappell he has always called for Rohit's inclusion. Even when he was dropped from the WC side He has been constantly saying that for a long time. I doubt this is a mind game. He really does think that. Though Virat has earned his shot. Simple.

[Needforspeed]

Wonder how things would have been, had Rohit not got injured on the morning of that Test match vs South Africa. His place in the final XI was certain. Still Virat has earned his place and only his failure in the first 2 tests will result in Rohit being in final Test XI.

[Number]

Ian Chappel should stop jinxing Rohit. Ever since he has been doing this Rohit had just failures after failures. saala pwned pundit...:finger:

[Sidhoni]

Maybe he is right but Kohli has earned his spot bcoz of a brilliant hundred in the practice game

[ViruRulez]

Kohli has earned his spot and has done no harm to be dropped. To be honest, I would rather drop either Gauti or Veeru (whoever is more out of form) compared to Kohli if Rohit needs to be included. I hope Veeru clicks this time at least in the test series. I am still not sure about Veeru even after the record innings. He is just hit and miss nowadays and that innings was just one hit after dozens of misses which does not justify his automatic inclusion unless he is more consistent.

[ravishingravi]

He is spot onl. But as it happens in India, we will wait for Kohli for fail considering how he has hammered runs in ODIs at home and once he is sorted out, Sharma is next big thing.

[carnish]

I say drop Gauti :hitler: and play Rohit at no.1 .... Then Kohli will do well down the order and Rohit will struggle so making it easy to decide who should remain in the side

[Tridibans_16]

He has a point here but I think looking at Kohli's current form he deserves to be given a chance. Though at times he gets into uncomfortable positions playing the short pitched stuff, it would be better to judge him after a couple of outings in this series.

Gauti opening with Sehwag means a left-right combo that has actually worked for India in the past (not counting the English drubbing :winky:). I thing Gauti can play a big innings if he gets set which cant be said about Rohit, him being a newcomer.

:facepalm: 54, 22, 28, 87*, 2 , 2, 81, 22, 0, 94, 55, 9, 7, 16, 107- thats Virat's 5 innings each in SA, WI and Eng, a total of 576 runs in 15 innings at an avg of 41 Did you expect him to score 100s in each of those innings?

[cowboysfan]

I agree with chapal,virat better bring it or he will be dropped.
