"It's a high time that Raina plays at #4 or 5 in ODIs" - Dhoni

[Jersey #10]

B-> The guy deserves it!

[Old guy]

bye bye rohit :((

[jj_28]

B-> Sehwag Gambhir Kohli Raina Tiwary/Yuvraj? oh yeah Sachin will come back in the side as well

[Jersey #10]

bye bye rohit :((

And that also sort of ensures that IKP stays as the lower end of the batting line up.

[SLICKR392]

That means -Adieu Rohit

[GautiMaan]

Dhoni himself could bat at 3,for most sides in the world. Btw if we move Raina up,whose gonna do the finishing with Dhoni.Tiwary/Rohit clearly cant do it as well as Raina

[rkt.india]

NO. Raina is good at 5-6. Who will play Raina's role then?

[Old guy]

i think he has already proved himself in this series and i think in near future even rahane will come in gambhir at 3,kohli 4 i like this line up

I think depending on the situation Yuvraj/Raina/Dhoni will be floaters.

Kohli at 4,after all that he's achieved at 3?Should just drop sehwag if u want Rahane in the team

[GautiMaan]

I think depending on the situation Yuvraj/Raina/Dhoni will be floaters.

Thats what is being done now.Msd came ahead of Raina last game

[1983-2011]

Sehwag Gambhir Kohli Dhoni Yuvraj/etc... Raina Pathan

[Old guy]

Kohli at 4' date='after all that he's achieved at 3?Should just drop sehwag if u want Rahane in the team[/quote'] he has done well at 4 too gmabhir just fits in so well at 3 think abt next world cup this batting line up can survive those pitches ...people should try to remember recent cb series wheren o one other then kohli, gambhir and dhoni did anything

[Pagalpanti]

I don't think he meant it as permanent feature. In our batting line up only the top 3 are fixed spots, rest r floaters.

[jind]

B-> The guy deserves it!

lulz, how fickle minded... just in the other thread "Raina is Boss" you were against the idea of Raina at #4-5 and calling out names :hysterical:

So wait, him playing the "finisher's" role at the lower end of the line up is not good? :hysterical: Why do people ask to change things up when they are working perfectly as this?

Jind, are you somehow related to "vvvslaxman" dude? He's just as annoying and brainless as you are. Just wondering Some people could never be happy

[GautiMaan]

Then maybe someone like Pujara should be brought in to add some stability.But i dont see our selectors making those sort of decisions

[Old guy]

ya tht will be even better i dont think sehwag will do anything on those tracks ..rahane gambo open pujara,kohli then hittersl ike yuvraj,raina,dhoni,pathan.. not bad line up at all!

[audioman]

Sure, in the subcontinent. Once you tour outside, you will again need to hide him lower down.

Dont need pujara in the team . Unlike in the past , bar shewag every other bat can play steady if required .
