that is one fear i have. But Che does have a good list A record. So might not be the case. India does badly need a solid batsman in the middle who can make it count on tough pitches.

we need him he'll strengthen our batting further. its rubbish to say his test batting will go down there is a reason why he averages 60 in First class and 57 in List A matches

His batting may not be affected but his fitness will be tested. He struggled with a bad knee throughout the Aus series and given the history of injuries, both his running between the wickets and fielding outside the ring will be a concern. Runs to he will score even on one leg with all that ability. Praying he is a good slip fielder so that Kohli can keep him there most of the times.

I am no expert, but surely crouching for nearly every delivery (which a slip fielder has to do especially to spinners) is more detrimental than say being at some place where the ball rarely goes in the field. Michael Vaughan had the same issues with his knee. He usually fielded at mid off. I felt very sorry for che fielding at silly point and bat pad. Felt sorry for him.

Absolutely. Pujara should not be fielding at short leg but they make him field there all the time. If he's not there, then he's not allowed to take off his pads and runs around with those shin pads on. Che chasing balls in the outfield with his shin pads was a common sight in Eng and Aus tests, never ever seen such scenes anywhere else. Talking of Vaughan, maybe Che can start learning his cha cha cha or rock n roll to fix his knee problem. :--D

@Mods - plz create one "Skindia" thread where he can post all his random thoughts instead of creating one new useless thread everyday.
I also agree with 'ur view'. Others, ur views ?

He needs to be tested and he is starting off in a overseas condition. So, it will be a challenge just like Dhawan. He was tested in Champions Trophy as it was a foreign pitch and he succeeded and secured a place. Hope, Pujara will be the same as his LIST A record is very promising
