Who should replace Dhawan

[Sooda]

he is injured for Delhi test...in other words what should the test 4 XI be I wonder if they can change the squad, its only 14 now anyway, get Mukund in to open with Vijay and 'rest' SRT (but could it be his last test?!) and play Rahane at 4... also get a paceman in- Shami Ahmed? and play him and Dinda as new ball duo We have won the series lets experiment

[urbestfriend]

Rahane for Dhawan and pankaj for ishant

[Desi Cartman]

what injury does he have ?

[Pagalpanti]

Rahane Finally gets a chance but he will be under tremendous pressure. Hasn't he had 4-5(?) tours on benches and now finally gets a place.

[Needforspeed]

I think what they will do is to open with Pujara and play Rahane at No 3 or No 5 (Kohli at 3). Dont expect any other changes. Anyway very difficult to choose between Dinda and Ishant. Both are equally bad.

[Sooda]

~^That is likely yes, but I hope not. Good oppo to try something different Id like to see larger scale changes- Mukund, Vijay, Pujara, Rahane, Kohli, Jadeja, MSD, Shami/Bhuvi, Dinda, Ojha, Harbhajan

what injury does he have ?

Hand injury when he was fielding, do not think it is too serious...

[coffee_rules]

No Pujara can open, we can get Harbhajan in as Dhoni's idea is to spread the bowling effort to keep the bowlers fresh. He says 5 bowlers will work better than 4, so bowlers can be less tired. Now is the chance to bowl 6 bowlers. 2 pairs of spinners operating in tandem!

Rahane obviously

[philcric]

4-0 should be a priority. Rahane in place of Dhawan. Dinda in place of Ishant (only 'coz Pankaj/Shami are not in the squad).

[Number]

Gambhir.

[jj_28]

Ishant is not going to get dropped unfortunately, the team is most likely going to be Rahane Vijay Pujara Sachin Kohli Dhoni Jadeja Ashwin Kumar Ishant Ojha

[saneindian]

Rahane to get his fully well deserved chance although on a treacherous pitch by the reports. And pls no more games to Ishant, let Dinda play as well

[jj_28]

@BCCI Team India for Delhi Test: MSD ©, Vijay, Pujara, SRT, Virat, Jadeja, Bhajji, Ashwin, Ojha, Bhuvi, Rahane, Dinda, Raina, Ishant #IndvAus

Rahane is going to be left out of the 4th test as well isn't he? :(( :((

[Sooda]

Rahane obviously

Not that obvious- he does not want to open and this WAS a chance to give a new opener more experience. Oh well.

Pujara can open and Rahane at no 3.

[CSK Fan]

Gambhir.

He has jaundice

[Sooda]

Pujara can open and Rahane at no 3.

Yes, we hope so!

[G_B_]

as long as Raina is in the side all bets are of the table

[I6MTW]

Why is raina substituted? He is a middle order bat. So they are planning on opening with Pujara and vijay?

[Laaloo]

I would love for Raina to replace him :yay:
