Unmukt chand should replace Gambhir.!

[Sean Bradley]

if theres anyone who deserves a place right now as an opener then its shikhar dhawan, hes a good fielder too.

[yoda]

Somebody should replace Gambhir.

[Cevno]

I would rather take Ian Chappel and Wasim akram's views I guess.

Ian Chappell said about Harmeet Singh that he would get into every test team barring England. He can't even get into the Mumbai team ahead of Chavan. :giggle: Chappel also called Rohit Sharma next sachin 6 years back.

Shikhar Dhawan should be chosen instead

Dhawan not for tests. Would pick for ODI's maybe. Abhinav Mukund after his performance in Newzealand on A tour deserves a chance again.

[vamos_rafa]

Chappell also wanted Rohit Sharma in the team ahead of Virat Kohli.

[vamos_rafa]

dekock is South Africas Parthiv Patel..similar style of batting' date=' similar shots.[/quote'] Similar keeping too :winky:

[skindia]

Robin better than chand

Without testing how can u say Harmeet is not good enough? Our people are not good at judging talents. U know how our system works. Chavan is a senior, hence,he is playing, not harmeet.

[Tendulkar_Bhai]

AT 16 how much of an impact had Tendulkar made in FC-not much i imagine! Sometimes you have to take a gamble with talent as they will progress much faster at international level than going stale in FC, otherwise you will be left with even more 26yr old+ Badrinath, Rohit's and Dhawans who are probably not going to have a 10yr international career

[SLICKR392]

I would have Dhawan instead. Give him more time.

sometimes,yes,not with hacks like Unmukt:P

[express bowling]

I am not sure whether Ranji trophy prepares batsmen for international cricket, given the low quality of bowling. Unmukt perhaps needs some more practice but that has to be something like A tours and a county stint. ( although, after IPL, county stints are perhaps history ).

[rajmarie]

not right time

There will be never a better time. Gambhir has done nothing except being KKR captain to keep in place in the Indian team for a long time without performing. It has been right time for the last 6 month to send him back to domestic cricket & include another deserving cricketer....& Chand seems to fit the bill. Need him to experienced Intl cricket on home rather then abroad.

Debut hundreds in Ranji, Duleep, and Irani trophies not enough?

hes too young and too flashy.as good as that innings was,he needs to do more than one great innings in which he was dropped twice

[JaFanatic]

let him not struggle against our domestic trundlers and spinners who cant spin the ball first:facepalm:

[cricketpitch]

So we have already given up on Rahane? Since "Bradman" Rohit has taken the other opening spot there is only one spot available.

I am sure you have no idea about sachin's career. At 16 Sachin was facing Waqar, Wasim and Imran. He made hundreds on debut in the three premier domestic tournaments. He was a prodigy. I don't think there will be any batsman who will be as good as Sachin at the age of 16 ever.

Not like the hacks to whom we seem to compare him with.
